Most object detection techniques discussed in the literature are based solely on texture-based features that capture the global or local appearance of an object. While results indi...
In this paper we present coupled partial differential equations (PDEs) for the problem of joint segmentation and registration. The registration component of the method estimates a...
A key step in the process of lip-reading is determining the shape of the speaker’s lips. This has previously been achieved through an energy method known as “snakes”, howeve...
We propose a method that detects and segments multiple, partially occluded objects in images. A part hierarchy is defined for the object class. Whole-object segmentor and part de...
Illuminant estimation from shadows typically relies on accurate segmentation of the shadows and knowledge of exact 3D geometry, while shadow estimation is difficult in the presen...
