Abstract. In this paper we present a method suitable to be used for human tracking as a temporal prior in a particle filtering framework such as CONDENSATION [5]. This method is f...
We propose a novel approach for finding text in images by using ridges at several scales. A text string is modelled by a ridge at a coarse scale representing its center line and n...
Recognizing a person’s motion is intuitive for humans but represents a challenging problem in machine vision. In this paper, we present a multi-disciplinary framework for recogn...
In this paper we present a method for the retrieval of images in terms of perceptual similarity. Local color information is added to the shape context descriptor in order to obtain...
This paper proposes a general method for improving image descriptors using discriminant projections. Two methods based on Linear Discriminant Analysis have been recently introduce...
