Fast approximate nearest neighbors with automatic algorithm configuration
- In VISAPP International Conference on Computer Vision Theory and Applications
, 2009
"... nearest-neighbors search, randomized kd-trees, hierarchical k-means tree, clustering. For many computer vision problems, the most time consuming component consists of nearest neighbor matching in high-dimensional spaces. There are no known exact algorithms for solving these high-dimensional problems ..."

system that answers the question, “What is the fastest approximate nearest-neighbor algorithm for my data? ” Our system will take any given dataset and desired degree of precision and use these to automatically determine the best algorithm and parameter values. We also describe a new algorithm
A density-based algorithm for discovering clusters in large spatial databases with noise
, 1996
"... Clustering algorithms are attractive for the task of class identification in spatial databases. However, the application to large spatial databases rises the following requirements for clustering algorithms: minimal requirements of domain knowledge to determine the input parameters, discovery of clu ..."

Distinctive Image Features from Scale-Invariant Keypoints
, 2003
"... This paper presents a method for extracting distinctive invariant features from images, which can be used to perform reliable matching between different images of an object or scene. The features are invariant to image scale and rotation, and are shown to provide robust matching across a a substa ..."

describes an approach to using these features for object recognition. The recognition proceeds by matching individual features to a database of features from known objects using a fast nearest-neighbor algorithm, followed by a Hough transform to identify clusters belonging to a single object
Similarity search in high dimensions via hashing
, 1999
"... The nearest- or near-neighbor query problems arise in a large variety of database applications, usually in the context of similarity searching. Of late, there has been increasing interest in building search/index structures for performing similarity search over high-dimensional data, e.g., image dat ..."

Recognizing action at a distance
- PROCEEDINGS OF THE IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COMPUTER VISION
, 2003
"... Our goal is to recognize human actions at a distance, at resolutions where a whole person may be, say, 30 pixels tall. We introduce a novel motion descriptor based on optical flow measurements in a spatio-temporal volume for each stabilized human figure, and an associated similarity measure to be us ..."

-temporal motion descriptor. To classify the action being performed by a human figure in a query sequence, we retrieve nearest neighbor(s) from a database of stored, annotated video sequences. We can also use these retrieved exemplars to transfer 2D/3D skeletons onto the figures in the query sequence, as well
The SR-tree: An Index Structure for High-Dimensional Nearest Neighbor Queries
, 1997
"... Recently, similarity queries on feature vectors have been widely used to perform content-based retrieval of images. To apply this technique to large databases, it is required to develop multidimensional index structures supporting nearest neighbor queries e ciently. The SS-tree had been proposed for ..."

Reflectance and texture of real-world surfaces
- ACM TRANS. GRAPHICS
, 1999
"... In this work, we investigate the visual appearance of real-world surfaces and the dependence of appearance on scale, viewing direction and illumination direction. At ne scale, surface variations cause local intensity variation or image texture. The appearance of this texture depends on both illumina ..."

of the BRDF measurements, we t the measurements to two recent models and obtain a BRDF parameter database. These parameters can be used directly in image analysis and synthesis of a wide variety of surfaces. The BTF, BRDF, and BRDF parameter databases have important implications for computer vision
Learning probabilistic relational models
- In IJCAI
, 1999
"... A large portion of real-world data is stored in commercial relational database systems. In contrast, most statistical learning methods work only with "flat " data representations. Thus, to apply these methods, we are forced to convert our data into a flat form, thereby losing much ..."

Face Recognition Based on Fitting a 3D Morphable Model
- IEEE TRANS. PATTERN ANAL. MACH. INTELL
, 2003
"... This paper presents a method for face recognition across variations in pose, ranging from frontal to profile views, and across a wide range of illuminations, including cast shadows and specular reflections. To account for these variations, the algorithm simulates the process of image formation in 3D ..."
