In this paper we consider the problem of object parsing,
namely detecting an object and its components by composing
them from image observations. Apart from object localization,
...
Active contours is a popular technique for image segmentation.
However, active contour tend to converge to the
closest local minimum of its energy function and often requires
a ...
One of the key factors for the success of recent energy
minimization methods is that they seek to compute global
solutions. Even for non-convex energy functionals, optimization
...

We propose a novel framework for contour based object
detection and recognition, which we formulate as a joint
contour fragment grouping and labeling problem. For a
given set of...

The biological visual system possesses the ability to compute layered surface representations, in which one surface is represented as being viewed through another. This ability is...
