One possible solution for pose- and illuminationinvariant face recognition is to employ appearancebased approaches, which rely greatly on correct facial textures. However, existin...

This paper presents a novel processing scheme for the automatic computation of a medial shape model which is representative for an object population with shape variability. The se...
Strong lighting is common in natural scenes yet is often viewed as a nuisance for object pose estimation and tracking. In human shape and pose estimation, cast shadows can be conf...

We present a novel variational approach for simultaneous segmentation of two images of the same object taken from different viewpoints. Due to noise, clutter and occlusions, neith...
In this article we present the integration of 3-D shape knowledge into a variational model for level set based image segmentation and contour based 3-D pose tracking. Given the sur...
