We describe a method for generating N-best configurations from part-based models, ensuring that they do not overlap according to some user-provided definition of overlap. We ext...
Recent years have witnessed the growing popularity of hashing in large-scale vision problems. It has been shown that the hashing quality could be boosted by leveraging supervised ...

In state-of-the-art image retrieval systems, an image is
represented by a bag of visual words obtained by quantizing
high-dimensional local image descriptors, and scalable

All surfaces can be classified by the conformal equivalence
relation. Conformal invariants, which are shape indices
that can be defined intrinsically on a surface, may
be used t...

In this report, we consider whether statistical regularities in natural images might be exploited to provide an improved selection criterion for interest points. One approach that ...
