—In this paper, we introduce a new approach to computing a Morse decomposition of a vector field on a triangulated manifold surface. The basic idea is to convert the input vector...
Markov Random Fields (MRF's) can be used for a wide variety of vision problems. In this paper we focus on MRF's with two-valued clique potentials, which form a generaliz...
Large margin classifiers have demonstrated their advantages in many visual learning tasks, and have attracted much attention in vision and image processing communities. In this pa...
The MPEG-7 standard is emerging as both a general framework for content description and a collection of specific, agreed-upon content descriptors. We have developed a neural, self...
This paper presents a new method for segmentation of images into large regions that reflect the real world objects present in a scene. It explores the feasibility of utilizing sp...
