We demonstrate a novel approach to modelling arbitrary temporally-deforming objects using spatio-temporal Fourier descriptors. This is a continuous boundary descriptor, which can ...
We study the problem of estimating the illuminant's direction from images of textured surfaces. Given an isotropic, Gaussian random surface with constant albedo, Koenderink an...
Motivated by improving statistical shape analysis, this paper presents a novel landmark-based method for accurate shape correspondence, where the general goal is to align multiple...
Speech reading, also known as lip reading, is aimed at extracting visual cues of lip and facial movements to aid in recognition of speech. The main hurdle for speech reading is th...
In video object classification, insufficient labeled data may at times be easily augmented with pairwise constraints on sample points, i.e, whether they are in the same class or n...
