In background subtraction, cast shadows induce silhouette distortions and object fusions hindering performance of high level algorithms in scene monitoring. We introduce a nonpara...
In this paper, we introduce a novel approach for simultaneous restoration and segmentation of blurred, noisy images by approaching a variant of the Mumford-Shah functional from a ...
This paper describes an approach to the extraction of articulated objects which will be used for gait analysis. In most medical applications markers are used to determine trajecto...
