Our paper, "Self Paced Learning for Long-Term Tracking" was accepted for publication at CVPR 2013. The paper presents a novel technique for adapting an appearance model for long term tracking.

Displaying Real Valued Data in OpenCV

The imageeq function, which follows, equalizes a floating point image before displaying it. It is much better than MATLAB's imagesc for visualizing depth data.
void imageeq(const char* winName, cv::Mat_< float > im)
{
    // compute the order statistics
    vector< float > values;
    for(int rIter = 0; rIter < im.rows; rIter++)
        for(int cIter = 0; cIter < im.cols; cIter++)
                values.push_back(im.at< float >(rIter,cIter));
    std::sort(values.begin(),values.end());
    auto newEnd = std::unique(values.begin(),values.end());
    values.erase(newEnd,values.end());
    
    // compute an equalized image
    Mat showMe(im.rows,im.cols,DataType< uchar >::type);
    float oldQuant = 0;
    for(int qIter = 1; qIter <= 256; qIter++)
    {
        float quantile = static_cast< float >(qIter)/256;
      
        float thresh_low = values[oldQuant*(values.size() - 1)];
        float thresh_high = values[quantile*(values.size() - 1)];
        //printf("q = %f low = %f high = %f\n",quantile,thresh_low,thresh_high);
        for(int rIter = 0; rIter < im.rows; rIter++)
            for(int cIter = 0; cIter < im.cols; cIter++)
            {
                float curValue = im.at< float >(rIter,cIter);
                if(curValue <= thresh_high && curValue >= thresh_low)
                    showMe.at< uchar >(rIter,cIter) = qIter-1;
            }
        
        oldQuant = quantile;
    }
    
    imshow(winName,showMe);
}

The above figure contains the inverse HOG visualization of the HOG features in a picture of me. I am a first year PhD student at UC Irvine. I work in computer vision. I'm interested in how we might exploit temporal data (tracking) and depth data (e.g. Kinect) in semi-supervised learning to create effective detectors.
