Neural Networks
(1996-03-13)
We present an overview of current research on artificial neural networks, emphasizing a statistical perspective. We view neural networks as parameterized graphs that make probabilistic assumptions about data, and view ...
Support Vector Machines: Training and Applications
(1997-03-01)
The Support Vector Machine (SVM) is a new and very promising classification technique developed by Vapnik and his group at AT&T Bell Labs. This new learning algorithm can be seen as an alternative training technique ...
Object Detection in Images by Components
(1999-08-11)
In this paper we present a component based person detection system that is capable of detecting frontal, rear and near side views of people, and partially occluded persons in cluttered scenes. The framework that is ...
A Note on Support Vector Machines Degeneracy
(1999-08-11)
When training Support Vector Machines (SVMs) over non-separable data sets, one sets the threshold $b$ using any dual cost coefficient that is strictly between the bounds of $0$ and $C$. We show that there exist SVM ...
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 ...
