Detecting and segmenting free-form objects from cluttered backgrounds is a challenging problem in computer vision. Signature detection in document images is one classic example an...

This paper presents a new structure-based interest region detector called Principal Curvature-Based Regions (PCBR) which we use for object class recognition. The PCBR interest ope...

We introduce spatial PACT (Principal component Analysis of Census Transform histograms), a new representation for recognizing instances and categories of places or scenes. Both pl...
A new hierarchical Bayesian model is proposed for image segmentation based on Gaussian mixture models (GMM) with a prior enforcing spatial smoothness. According to this prior, the...

In this work we construct scale invariant descriptors (SIDs) without requiring the estimation of image scale; we thereby avoid scale selection which is often unreliable. Our start...
