We consider the problem of determining whether two images come from different objects or the same object in the same pose, but under different illumination conditions. We show tha...
We propose a methodfor segmenting gray-value images. By segmentation, we mean a map from the set of pixels to a small set of levels such that each connected component of the set o...
The Euclidean skeleton is essential for general shape representation. This paper provides an e cient method to extract a well-connected Euclidean skeleton by a neighbor bisector d...
A method is presented for e cient and reliable object recognition within noisy, cluttered, and occluded range images. The method is based on a strategy which hypothesizes the inte...
We describe a vision system that monitors activity in a site over extended periods of time. The system uses a distributed set of sensors to cover the site, and an adaptive tracker...

We propose a new image retrieval method based on human perceptual clustering of color images. This color clustering produces for each image a small set of representative colors wh...
All illusory surface jigures yield a perception of a surface occluding another one or the background. Occluded surfaces yield completion, a phenomena known as amodal completions. ...
Temporal segmentation of video is a necessary rst step to indexing digital video for browsing and retrieval. A number of di erent video temporal segmentation algorithms have been ...
We present a new graph-theoretic approach to the problem of image segmentation. Our method uses local criteria and yet produces results that reflect global properties of the image...
