Large image databases are used in an extraordinary number of multimedia applications in
fields such as entertainment, business, art, engineering, and science. Retrieving images by …

Recent advances in object recognition have emphasized the integration of intensity-derived
features such as affine patches with associated geometric constraints leading to impressive …

This paper poses object category detection in images as a type of 2D-to-3D alignment
problem, utilizing the large quantities of 3D CAD models that have been made publicly …

This long-awaited work by prominent Harvard psychologist Stephen Kosslyn integrates a
twenty-year research program on the nature of high-level vision and mental imagery. Image …

Fingerprint verification is one of the most reliable personal identification methods. However,
manual fingerprint verification is incapable of meeting today's increasing performance …

Fingerprint verification is an important biometric technique for personal identification. We
describe the design and implementation of a prototype automatic identity-authentication …

Abstract Model-based recognition and motion tracking depends upon the ability to solve for
projection and model parameters that will best fit a 3-D model to matching 2-D image …

This paper addresses the problem of establishing correspondences between two sets of
visual features using higher order constraints instead of the unary or pairwise ones used in …

In this paper we show that nondeterministic space s(n) is closed under complementation for
s(n) greater than or equal to \logn. It immediately follows that the context-sensitive …

Try this experiment. Turn on your television with the sound off. Now change channels with
your eyes closed. At each new channel, blink quickly. As the picture appears, you will …
