Learning to Detect Objects with Minimal Supervision

Karim Ali

Many classes of objects can now be successfully detected with statistical machine learning techniques. Faces, cars and pedestrians, have all been detected with low error rates by learning their appearance in a highly generic manner from extensive training ...

A Real-Time Deformable Detector

Pascal Fua, François Fleuret, Karim Ali, David Hasler

We propose a new learning strategy for object detection. The proposed scheme forgoes the need to train a collection of detectors dedicated to homogeneous families of poses, and instead learns a single classifier that has the inherent ability to deform base ...

Removing Shadows from Images Using Color and Near-infrared

Sabine Süsstrunk, Neda Salamati, Arthur Germain

Shadows often introduce errors in the performance of computer vision algorithms, such as object detection and tracking. This paper proposes a method to remove shadows from real images based on a probability shadow map. The probability shadow map identifies ...

Tasting Families of Features for Image Classification

François Fleuret, Charles Dubout

Using multiple families of image features is a very efficient strategy to improve performance in object detection or recognition. However, such a strategy induces multiple challenges for machine learning methods, both from a computational and a statistical ...

Learning Pose Invariant and Covariant Classifiers from Image Sequences

Mustafa Özuysal

Object tracking and detection over a wide range of viewpoints is a long-standing problem in Computer Vision. Despite significant advance in wide-baseline sparse interest point matching and development of robust dense feature models, it remains a largely op ...

A Master-Slave Approach for Object Detection and Matching with Fixed and Mobile Cameras

Michel Bierlaire, Murat Kunt, Alexandre Massoud Alahi

Typical object detection algorithms on mobile cameras suffer from the lack of a-priori knowledge on the object to be detected. The variability in the shape, pose, color distribution, and behavior affect the robustness of the detection process. In general, ...
