Modeling complex realistic objects is a difficult and time consuming process. Nevertheless, with improvements in rendering speed and quality, more and more applications require s...
Searching for small objects (e.g., logos) in images is a critical yet challenging problem. It becomes more difficult when target objects differ significantly from the query object...
We introduce an exemplar model that can learn and generate a region of interest around class instances in a training set, given only a set of images containing the visual class. T...
W e introduce a novel view-based object representation, called the saliency map graph (SMG), which captures the salient regions of an object view at multiple scales using a wavele...
Research in modeling and querying spatial data has primarily focused on traditional "crisp" spatial objects with exact location and spatial extent. More recent work, how...
