A Theory of Object Recognition: Computations and Circuits in the Feedforward Path of the Ventral Stream in Primate Visual Cortex
(2005-12-19)
We describe a quantitative theory to account for the computations performed by the feedforward path of the ventral stream of visual cortex and the local circuits implementing them. We show that a model instantiating the ...
A Trainable System for Object Detection in Images and Video Sequences
(2000-05-01)
This thesis presents a general, trainable system for object detection in static images and video sequences. The core system finds a certain class of objects in static images of completely unconstrained, cluttered scenes ...
Dense Depth Maps from Epipolar Images
(1996-11-01)
Recovering three-dimensional information from two-dimensional images is the fundamental goal of stereo techniques. The problem of recovering depth (three-dimensional information) from a set of images is essentially the ...
Complex Feature Recognition: A Bayesian Approach for Learning to Recognize Objects
(1996-11-01)
We have developed a new Bayesian framework for visual object recognition which is based on the insight that images of objects can be modeled as a conjunction of local features. This framework can be used to both derive ...
The Delta Tree: An Object-Centered Approach to Image-Based Rendering
(1997-05-02)
This paper introduces the delta tree, a data structure that represents an object using a set of reference images. It also describes an algorithm for generating arbitrary re-projections of an object by traversing its ...
Direct Methods for Estimation of Structure and Motion from Three Views
(1996-12-01)
We describe a new direct method for estimating structure and motion from image intensities of multiple views. We extend the direct methods of Horn- and-Weldon to three views. Adding the third view enables us to solve ...
Lens Distortion Calibration Using Point Correspondences
(1996-12-01)
This paper describes a new method for lens distortion calibration using only point correspondences in multiple views, without the need to know either the 3D location of the points or the camera locations. The standard ...
Corpus-Based Techniques for Word Sense Disambiguation
(1998-05-27)
The need for robust and easily extensible systems for word sense disambiguation coupled with successes in training systems for a variety of tasks using large on-line corpora has led to extensive research into corpus-based ...
General Purpose Parallel Computation on a DNA Substrate
(1996-12-01)
In this paper I describe and extend a new DNA computing paradigm introduced in Blumberg for building massively parallel machines in the DNA-computing models described by Adelman, Cai et. al., and Liu et. al. Employing ...
Visible Decomposition: Real-Time Path Planning in Large Planar Environments
(1998-06-01)
We describe a method called Visible Decomposition for computing collision-free paths in real time through a planar environment with a large number of obstacles. This method divides space into local visibility graphs, ...
