Because of the large variation across different environments, a generic classifier trained on extensive data-sets may perform sub-optimally in a particular test environment. In th...
Bad weather, such as fog and haze, can significantly degrade the visibility of a scene. Optically, this is due to the substantial presence of particles in the atmosphere that abso...
In background subtraction, cast shadows induce silhouette distortions and object fusions hindering performance of high level algorithms in scene monitoring. We introduce a nonpara...
We present a method for learning discriminative linear feature extraction using independent tasks. More concretely, given a target classification task, we consider a complementary...
Traditional image retrieval methods require a "query image" to initiate a search for members of an image category. However, when the image database is unstructured, and ...
