Due to the lack of explicit spatial consideration, existing epitome model may fail for image
recognition and target detection, which directly motivates us to propose the so-called …

We present novel simple appearance and shape models that we call epitomes. The epitome
of an image is its miniature, condensed version containing the essence of the textural and …

Robust feature matching across different views of the same scene taken by two cameras
with wide baseline and arbitrary rotation is still an open problem. Matching based on …

Researchers in psychology have well studied the impact of the pose of a face as perceived
by humans, and concluded that the so-called 3/4 view, halfway between the front view and …

We wish to determine the epipolar geometry of a stereo camera pair from image
measurements alone. This paper describes a solution to this problem, which does not …

Face recognition is a difficult problem, whether using still images or video. A robust solution
is still elusive after 30 years of research. The main reason postulated for this is that two …

In this paper we address the problem of recognizing an object from a novel viewpoint, given
a single" model" view of that object. As is common in model-based recognition, objects and …

Several recently-proposed architectures for high-performance object recognition are
composed of two main stages: a feature extraction stage that extracts locally-invariant …

Variation due to viewpoint is one of the key challenges that stand in the way of a complete
solution to the face recognition problem. It is easy to note that local regions of the face …

A visually guided mobile platform acting in a dynamic environment needs information,
delivered from cues such as stereo and motion. In this paper a binocular stereo system …
