A set of images of a Lambertian surface under varying lighting directions defines its shape up to a three-parameter Generalized Bas-Relief (GBR) ambiguity. In this paper, we exami...

In patch-based object recognition, there are two important issues on the codebook generation: (1) resolution: a coarse codebook lacks sufficient discriminative power, and an over-...
This paper presents a novel local image descriptor that is robust to general image deformations. A limitation with traditional image descriptors is that they use a single support ...
Non-rigid registration is central to many problems in computer vision and medical image analysis. We propose a registration algorithm which is regularized by prior knowledge in th...
The earth mover's distance (EMD) [16] is an important perceptually meaningful metric for comparing histograms, but it suffers from high (O(N3 log N)) computational complexity...
