This paper investigates the use of the Bayesian inference for devising an example-based rendering procedure. As prior model of this Bayesian inference, we exploit the multiscale n...
We propose an illumination invariant and rotation insensitive texture representation based on a Markovian textural model. A texture is aligned with its dominant orientation and te...
This paper proposes a novel method for rapid and robust human detection and tracking based on the omega-shape features of people's head-shoulder parts. There are two modules ...
We address the problem of robust appearance-based visual tracking. First, a set of simplified biologically inspired features (SBIF) is proposed for object representation and the B...
We present the tip and friction forces acting on a needle during penetration into a canine prostate, independently measured by a 7-axis load cell newly developed for this purpose. ...
