A set label disagreement function is defined over the number of variables that deviates from the dominant label. The dominant label is the value assumed by the largest number of variables within a set of binary variables. The submodularity of a certain family of set label disagreement function is discussed in this manu...

Toward Guaranteed Illumination Models for Non-Convex Objects
cs.CV
Illumination variation remains a central challenge in object detection and recognition. Existing analyses of illumination variation typically pertain to convex, Lambertian objects, and guarantee quality of approximation in an average case sense. We show that it is possible to build V(vertex)-description convex cone mod...

A two-layer Conditional Random Field for the classification of partially occluded objects
cs.CV
Conditional Random Fields (CRF) are among the most popular techniques for image labelling because of their flexibility in modelling dependencies between the labels and the image features. This paper proposes a novel CRF-framework for image labeling problems which is capable to classify partially occluded objects. Our a...

A Minimal Six-Point Auto-Calibration Algorithm
cs.CV
A non-iterative auto-calibration algorithm is presented. It deals with a minimal set of six scene points in three views taken by a camera with fixed but unknown intrinsic parameters. Calibration is based on the image correspondences only. The algorithm is implemented and validated on synthetic image data.

Online Tracking Parameter Adaptation based on Evaluation
cs.CV
Parameter tuning is a common issue for many tracking algorithms. In order to solve this problem, this paper proposes an online parameter tuning to adapt a tracking algorithm to various scene contexts. In an offline training phase, this approach learns how to tune the tracker parameters to cope with different contexts. ...
