Strike a pose: tracking people by finding stylized poses by Ramanan, D, Forsyth, DA, Zisserman, A

“…Our basic assumption is that people tend to take on certain canonical poses, even when performing unusual activities like throwing a baseball or figure skating. We build a person detector that quite accurately detects and localizes limbs of people in lateral walking poses. …”

Lost in quantization: improving particular object retrieval in large scale image databases by Philbin, J, Chum, O, Isard, M, Sivic, J, Zisserman, A

“…Our results exceed the current state of the art retrieval performance on these datasets, particularly on queries with poor initial recall where techniques like query expansion suffer. Overall we show that soft-assignment is always beneficial for retrieval with large vocabularies, at a cost of increased storage requirements for the index.…”

Ant, spider and DNA: letting mindless generative mechanisms speak by Bråten, E
