Alternative Search Techniques for Face Detection Using Location Estimation and Binary Features

The sliding window approach is the most widely used technique to detect objects from an image. In the past few years, classifiers have been improved in many ways to increase the scanning speed. Apart from the classifier design (such as the cascade), the sc ...

Scale Invariant Feature Transform on the Sphere: Theory and Applications

Michel Bierlaire, Jean-Philippe Thiran, Javier Cruz Mota, Iva Bogdanova Vandergheynst

A SIFT algorithm in spherical coordinates for omnidirectional images is proposed. This algorithm can generate two types of local descriptors, Local Spherical Descriptors and Local Planar Descriptors. With the first ones, point matching between two omnidire ...

Exact Acceleration of Linear Object Detectors

François Fleuret, Charles Dubout

We describe a general and exact method to considerably speed up linear object detection systems operating in a sliding, multi-scale window fashion, such as the individual part detectors of part-based models. The main bottleneck of many of those systems is ...

Learning Image Descriptors with the Boosting-Trick

Pascal Fua, Vincent Lepetit, Tomasz Piotr Trzcinski, Christos Marios Christoudias

In this paper we apply boosting to learn complex non-linear local visual feature representations, drawing inspiration from its successful application to visual object detection. The main goal of local feature descriptors is to distinctively repre- sent a s ...

Phase Gradient Estimation Techniques in Fringe Analysis

Rajshekhar Gannavarpu

The thesis introduces novel techniques in the field of fringe analysis for direct estimation of phase gradients or derivatives. A pseudo Wigner-Ville distribution based method is proposed to reliably estimate the phase derivatives from a single fringe patt ...

Efficient Large Scale Multi-View Stereo for Ultra High Resolution Image Sets

Pascal Fua, Christoph Strecha, Engin Tola

We present a new approach for large scale multi-view stereo matching, which is designed to operate on ultra high resolution image sets and efficiently compute dense 3D point clouds. We show that, by using a robust descriptor for matching purposes and high ...

Scale Invariant Features and Polar Descriptors in Omnidirectional Imaging

Pascal Frossard, Zafer Arican

We propose a method to compute scale invariant features in omnidirectional images. We present a formulation based on Riemannian geometry for the definition of differential operators on non-Euclidian manifolds that describe the mirror and lens structure in ...

Early detection, warnings, weak signals and seeds of change: A turbulent domain of futures studies

Pierre Rossel

This paper marks a milestone in a six year research cycle on weak signal analysis and early detection issues in futures studies. While providing a broad view and discussing a variety of contributions on this topic, the aim of this article is to offer a mor ...

Layered Detection and Decoding in MIMO Wireless Systems

Andreas Peter Burg, Nicholas Alexander Preyss, Christoph Studer

Iterative detection and decoding (IDD) in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless systems is known to achieve near channel capacity. The high computational complexity of IDD, however, poses signiﬁcant challenges for practical implementations (in ter ...
