Relevant Component Analysis (RCA) has been proposed for learning distance metrics with contextual constraints for image retrieval. However, RCA has two important disadvantages. On...

We investigate to what extent `bag of visual words' models can be used to distinguish categories which have significant visual similarity. To this end we develop and optimize...
In this paper, we propose a novel local steerable phase (LSP) feature extracted from the face image using steerable filter for face representation and recognition. Steerable filte...
The active appearance model (AAM) is a powerful method for modeling deformable visual objects. One of the major drawbacks of the AAM is that it requires a training set of pseudo-d...
We study the influence of numerical conditioning on the accuracy of two closed-form solutions to the overconstrained relative orientation problem. We consider the well known eight...
