Active contours were proposed by Kass et al. as a way to represent the contours of an image. Although the method is simple, one of its shortcomings is its inability to converge in...
We design a family of non-local image smoothing algorithms which approximate the application of diffusion PDE's on a specific Euclidean space of image patches. We first map a...
One approach to modeling structured discrete data is to describe the probability of states via an energy function and Gibbs distribution. A recurring difficulty in these models is...

Abstract. Understanding texture regularity in real images is a challenging computer vision task. We propose a higher-order feature matching algorithm to discover the lattices of ne...

We present a novel, yet simple algorithm for clustering large collections of digital images. The method is applicable to consumer digital photo libraries, where it can be used to o...
