We introduce a combinatorial dimension that characterizes the number of queries needed to exactly (or approximately) learn concept classes in various models. Our general dimension...
Statistical approaches for building non-rigid deformable
models, such as the Active Appearance Model (AAM), have
enjoyed great popularity in recent years, but typically require

This paper presents a nonparametric approach to labeling
of local image regions that is inspired by recent developments
in information-theoretic denoising. The chief novelty

We introduce a new technique that can reduce any
higher-order Markov random field with binary labels into
a first-order one that has the same minima as the original.
Moreover, w...
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...
