We report an automatic feature discovery method that achieves results comparable to a manually chosen, larger feature set on a document image content extraction problem: the locat...
Many natural and man-made structures have a boundary that shows a certain level of bilateral symmetry, a property that plays an important role in both human and computer vision. In...
Bag-of-words (BoW) methods are a popular class of object recognition methods that use image features (e.g., SIFT) to form visual dictionaries and subsequent histogram vectors to r...

Extended Abstract: We are exploring new techniques for active contour models (popularly known as “snakes”[1]) by combining active segmentation models with the constrained impli...
