Background subtraction is the first step of many video surveillance applications. What is considered background varies by application, and may include regular, systematic, or comp...

Statistical shape-and-texture appearance models employ image metamorphosis to form a rich, compact representation of object appearance. They achieve their efficiency by decomposin...
We describe an automatic method for building optimal 3D statistical shape models from sets of training shapes. Although shape models show considerable promise as a basis for segmen...

Many difficult visual perception problems, like 3D human motion estimation, can be formulated in terms of inference using complex generative models, defined over high-dimensional ...
We investigate dynamical models of human motion that can
support both synthesis and analysis tasks. Unlike coarser
discriminative models that work well when action classes are ...
