We consider the problem of obtaining the approximate maximum a posteriori estimate of a discrete random field characterized by pairwise potentials that form a truncated convex mod...
This paper proposes a new evolutionary region merging method in order to efficiently improve segmentation quality results. Our approach starts from an oversegmented image, which is...
We provide improved approximation algorithms for several rectangle tiling and packing problems (RTILE, DRTILE and d-RPACK) studied in the literature. Our algorithms are highly eff...

We propose a novel approach for shape-based segmentation based on a specially designed level set function format. This format permits us to better control the process of object re...
This paper presents a highly accurate and efficient method for crack detection using percolation-based image processing. The detection of cracks in concrete surfaces during the ma...
