Shiftable Multi-scale Transforms

by Eero Simoncelli, William T. Freeman, Edward H. Adelson, David J. Heeger , 1992
"... Orthogonal wavelet transforms have recently become a popular representation for multiscale signal and image analysis. One of the major drawbacks of these representations is their lack of translation invariance: the content of wavelet subbands is unstable under translations of the input signal. Wavel ..."

. Wavelet transforms are also unstable with respect to dilations of the input signal, and in two dimensions, rotations of the input signal. We formalize these problems by defining a type of translation invariance that we call "shiftability". In the spatial domain, shiftability corresponds to a

Real-time human pose recognition in parts from single depth images

by Jamie Shotton, Andrew Fitzgibbon, Mat Cook, Toby Sharp, Mark Finocchio, Richard Moore, Alex Kipman, Andrew Blake - IN CVPR , 2011
"... We propose a new method to quickly and accurately predict 3D positions of body joints from a single depth image, using no temporal information. We take an object recognition approach, designing an intermediate body parts representation that maps the difficult pose estimation problem into a simpler p ..."

Transform Analysis and Asset Pricing for Affine Jump-Diffusions

by Darrell Duffie, Jun Pan, Kenneth Singleton - Econometrica , 2000
"... In the setting of ‘‘affine’ ’ jump-diffusion state processes, this paper provides an analytical treatment of a class of transforms, including various Laplace and Fourier transforms as special cases, that allow an analytical treatment of a range of valuation and econometric problems. Example applicat ..."

Bundle Adjustment -- A Modern Synthesis

by Bill Triggs, Philip McLauchlan, Richard Hartley, Andrew Fitzgibbon - VISION ALGORITHMS: THEORY AND PRACTICE, LNCS , 2000
"... This paper is a survey of the theory and methods of photogrammetric bundle adjustment, aimed at potential implementors in the computer vision community. Bundle adjustment is the problem of refining a visual reconstruction to produce jointly optimal structure and viewing parameter estimates. Topics c ..."

Real-Time Obstacle Avoidance for Manipulators and Mobile Robots

by Oussama Khatib - INT. JOUR OF ROBOTIC RESEARCH , 1986
"... This paper presents a unique real-time obstacle avoidance approach for manipulators and mobile robots based on the artificial potential field concept. Collision avoidance, tradi-tionally considered a high level planning problem, can be effectively distributed between different levels of control, al- ..."

control. We reformulated the manipulator con-trol problem as direct control of manipulator motion in oper-ational space—the space in which the task is originally described—rather than as control of the task’s corresponding joint space motion obtained only after geometric and kine

Reversible jump Markov chain Monte Carlo computation and Bayesian model determination

by Peter J. Green - Biometrika , 1995
"... Markov chain Monte Carlo methods for Bayesian computation have until recently been restricted to problems where the joint distribution of all variables has a density with respect to some xed standard underlying measure. They have therefore not been available for application to Bayesian model determi ..."

The information bottleneck method

by Naftali Tishby, Fernando C. Pereira, William Bialek , 1999
"... We define the relevant information in a signal x ∈ X as being the information that this signal provides about another signal y ∈ Y. Examples include the information that face images provide about the names of the people portrayed, or the information that speech sounds provide about the words spoken. ..."

about Y through a ‘bottleneck ’ formed by a limited set of codewords ˜X. This constrained optimization problem can be seen as a generalization of rate distortion theory in which the distortion measure d(x, ˜x) emerges from the joint statistics of X and Y. This approach yields an exact set of self

Convolution Kernels on Discrete Structures

by David Haussler , 1999
"... We introduce a new method of constructing kernels on sets whose elements are discrete structures like strings, trees and graphs. The method can be applied iteratively to build a kernel on an infinite set from kernels involving generators of the set. The family of kernels generated generalizes the fa ..."

the family of radial basis kernels. It can also be used to define kernels in the form of joint Gibbs probability distributions. Kernels can be built from hidden Markov random elds, generalized regular expressions, pair-HMMs, or ANOVA decompositions. Uses of the method lead to open problems involving

Multiresolution grayscale and rotation invariant texture classification with local binary patterns

by Timo Ojala, Matti Pietikäinen, Topi Mäenpää - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON PATTERN ANALYSIS AND MACHINE INTELLIGENCE , 2002

This paper presents a theoretically very simple, yet efficient, multiresolution approach to gray-scale and rotation invariant texture classification based on local binary patterns and nonparametric discrimination of sample and prototype distributions. The method is based on recognizing that certain ..."

Excellent experimental results obtained in true problems of rotation invariance, where the classifier is trained at one particular
