We optimize over the set of corrected laplacians (CL) associated with a weighted graph to improve the average case normalized cut (NCut) of a graph. Unlike edge-relaxation SDPs, o...
A novel thresholding algorithm is presented in this paper to improve image segmentation performance at a low computational cost. The proposed algorithm uses a normalized graphcut m...

We propose a method of image segmentation by integrating pairwise attraction and directional repulsion derived from local grouping and figure-ground cues. These two kinds of pairw...
A method is presented for automatically extracting key frames from an image sequence. The sequence is divided into clusters of frames with similar appearance, and the most central...
We propose a method for segmentation of frontal human portraits from arbitrary unknown backgrounds. Semantic information is used to project the face into a normalized reference fr...
