Self-similar sketch by Vedaldi, A, Zisserman, A

“…The resulting collection of segments constitutes a "sketch" of the image. This is applied to the task of estimating vanishing points, horizon, and zenith in standard benchmark data, obtaining state-of-the-art results. …”

The truth about cats and dogs by Parkhi, O, Vedaldi, A, Jawahar, C, Zisserman, A

“…In these cases we propose to use the template-based model to detect a distinctive part for the class, followed by detecting the rest of the object via segmentation on image specific information learnt from that part. …”

Unsupervised discovery of visual object class hierarchies by Sivic, J, Russell, BC, Zisserman, A, Freeman, WT, Efros, AA

“…Employing the multiple segmentation framework of Russell et al. [22], we show that meaningful object hierarchies, together with object segmentations, can be automatically learned from unlabeled and unsegmented image collections without supervision. …”

Clostridium difficile bacteriophage finding under normal and iron-limited conditions for the isolation of potential siderophore receptor-specific phages by Lim, Edsel Yong Xun

“…Phage therapy, known for its specificity of action, has emerged as a promising candidate for combating CDI, offering the potential to circumvent gut microbiome dysbiosis associated with conventional antibiotic regimens. However, research on Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) phage hunting has been relatively limited. …”

Automatic and efficient long term arm and hand tracking for continuous sign language TV broadcasts by Pfister, T, Charles, J, Everingham, M, Zisserman, A

“…<br> Our contributions are (i) a co-segmentation algorithm that automatically separates the signer from any signed TV broadcast using a generative layered model; (ii) a method of predicting joint positions given only the segmentation and a colour model using a random forest regressor; and (iii) demonstrating that the random forest can be trained from an existing semi-automatic, but computationally expensive, tracker. …”

Discovering objects and their location in images by Sivic, J, Russell, BC, Efros, AA, Zisserman, A, Freeman, WT

“…It is demonstrated that this extended vocabulary gives a cleaner image segmentation. Finally, the classification and segmentation methods are applied to a set of images containing multiple objects per image. …”
