This article outlines a simple method for parsing an ASCII-format dramatic work from the Project Gutenberg Corpus into separate characters. The motivation for the program is a upcoming study in computational stylistics and characterization in drama. Various previous approaches involving interactive media are examined and the parser is evaluated by comparing the output to data annotated by hand ...

Modelling the appearance of 3D objects undergoing large pose variation relies on recovering correspondence of both shape and texture across views. The problem is hard because changes in pose not only introduce self-occlusions hence inconsistent 2D features between views, but also cause non-linear variations in both the shape and texture of object appearance. In this paper, we present an approac...

In the author's words, "This book is concer-ned not only with the histological and histogenetical aspects of tumours but also with the development of tissues and organs from which they arise; it de...

In Proc. of IEEE Conf. on CVPR’03, Madison, Wisconsin, 2003 Occlusion is a difficult problem for appearance-based target tracking, especially when we need to track multiple targets simultaneously and maintain the target identities during tracking. To cope with the occlusion problem explicitly, this paper proposes a dynamic Bayesian network which accommodates an extra hidden process for occlusio...
