We propose a novel approach to improve the distinctiveness of local image features without significantly affecting their robustness with respect to image deformations. Local image...
In this paper, we propose an optimal unequal error protection scheme for object-based video communications over differentiated services networks. Our goal is to achieve the best v...

This paper addresses the problem of calibrating a pinhole camera from images of an isoceles trapezoid. Assuming a unit aspect ratio and zero skew, we introduce a novel and simple ...
Figure-ground discrimination is an important problem in computer vision. Previous work usually assumes that the color distribution of the figure can be described by a low dimensio...
In this paper we present a simple framework for activity recognition based on a model of multi-layered finite state machines, built on top of a low level image processing module f...
