Recently, an optimization approach for fast visual tracking of articulated structures based on Stochastic Meta-Descent (SMD) [7] has been presented. SMD is a gradient descent with...

We propose a novel Active Volume Model (AVM) which deforms in a free-form manner to minimize energy. Unlike Snakes and level-set active contours which only consider curves or surfa...
Many of the computer vision algorithms have been posed in various forms of differential equations, derived from minimization of specific energy functionals, and the finite eleme...
Grid-warping is a recent placement strategy based on a novel physical analogy: rather than move the gates to optimize their location, it elastically deforms a model of the 2-D chi...
Abstract. In this paper, we present a novel graph, sub-graph and supergraph based face representation which captures the facial shape changes and deformations caused due to pose ch...
