The problem of automated visual surveillance has spawned a lively research area, with 2005
seeing three conferences or workshops and special issues of two major journals devoted …

This paper presents a novel approach to the detection of unusual or interesting events in
videos involving certain types of intentional behaviour, such as pedestrian scenes. The …

Real-world face recognition systems require careful balancing of three concerns: computational
cost, robustness, and discriminative power. In this paper we describe a new descriptor, …

Recently, psychologists have turned their attention to the study of cast shadows and demonstrated
that the human perceptual system values information from shadows very highly in the …

We present an approach to leaf level segmentation of images of Arabidopsis thaliana plants
based upon detected edges. We introduce a novel approach to edge classification, which …

A practical system for the automated analysis of crowded scenes will have to deal with multiple
occlusions and tracking failures, in a context in which the cameras may move at any time …

This paper describes a study into the attitudes and experiences of women at three distinct
stages of the career pipeline: undergraduate, graduate student, and staff. Computing has often …

Recently, cognitive psychologists and others have turned their attention to the formerly neglected
study of shadows, and the information they purvey. These studies show that the human …

This paper describes a novel approach to the problem of automated visual surveillance. The
authors have extended an existing algorithm which uses a cognitive model of navigation to …

This paper describes a method for building visual scene models from video data using
quantized descriptions of motion. This method enables us to make meaningful statements about …
