—Outlier mining is a major task in data analysis. Outliers are objects that highly deviate from regular objects in their local neighborhood. Density-based outlier ranking methods...
Scene text recognition has gained significant attention from the computer vision community in recent years. Recognizing such text is a challenging problem, even more so than the ...
We consider a problem central in aerial visual surveillance applications { detection and tracking of small, independently moving objects in long and noisy video sequences. We dire...
