      (IEEE, 2008-06)
      A novel method is proposed for the problem of frame-to-frame correspondence search in video sequences. The method, based on hashing of low-dimensional image descriptors, establishes dense correspondences and allows large ...
    • Efficient Representation of Local Geometry for Large Scale Object Retrieval 

      Autor: Perd’och, Michal; Chum, Ondřej; Matas, Jiří
      (IEEE, 2009-06)
      State of the art methods for image and object retrieval exploit both appearance (via visual words) and local geometry (spatial extent, relative pose). In large scale problems, memory becomes a limiting factor - local ...
    • Efficient Sequential Correspondence Selection by Cosegmentation 

      Autor: Čech, Jan; Matas, Jiří; Perd’och, Michal
      (IEEE, 2008-06)
      In many retrieval, object recognition and wide baseline stereo methods, correspondences of interest points are established possibly sublinearly by matching a compact descriptor such as SIFT. We show that a subsequent ...
    • Efficient Sequential Correspondence Selection by Cosegmentation 

      Autor: Čech, Jan; Matas, Jiří; Perd’och, Michal
      (IEEE, 2010-09)
      In many retrieval, object recognition, and wide-baseline stereo methods, correspondences of interest points (distinguished regions) are commonly established by matching compact descriptors such as SIFTs. We show that a ...
    • Epipolar Geometry Estimation via RANSAC Benefits from the Oriented Epipolar Constraint 

      Autor: Chum, Ondřej; Werner, Tomáš; Matas, Jiří
      (IEEE, 2004-08)
      The efficiency of epipolar geometry estimation by RANSAC is improved by exploiting the oriented epipolar constraint. Performance evaluation shows that the enhancement brings up to a two-fold speed-up. The orientation test ...
    • Epipolar Geometry from Two Correspondences 

      Autor: Perd’och, Michal; Matas, Jiří; Chum, Ondřej
      (IEEE, 2006)
      A novel algorithm for robust RANSAC-like estimation of epipolar geometry (of uncalibrated camera pair) from two correspondences of local affine frames (LAFs) is presented. Each LAF is constructed from three points independently ...

      Autor: Kalal, Zdenek; Mikolajczyk, Krystian; Matas, Jiří
      (IEEE, 2010-09)
      A novel system for long-term tracking of a human face in unconstrained videos is built on Tracking-Learning-Detection (TLD) approach. The system extends TLD with the concept of a generic detector and a validator which is ...
    • Fast Detection of Multiple Textureless 3-D Objects 

      Autor: Cai, Hongping; Werner, Tomáš; Matas, Jiří
      (Springer, 2013)
      We propose a fast edge-based approach for detection and approximate pose estimation of multiple textureless objects in a single image. The objects are trained from a set of edge maps, each showing one object in one pose. ...

      Autor: Kalal, Zdenek; Mikolajczyk, Krystian; Matas, Jiří
      (IEEE, 2010-08)
      This paper proposes a novel method for tracking failure detection. The detection is based on the Forward-Backward error, i.e. the tracking is performed forward and backward in time and the discrepancies between these two ...
