We present a new approach to iteratively estimate both
high-quality depth map and alpha matte from a single image
or a video sequence. Scene depth, which is invariant
to illumin...

Color and texture have been widely used in image segmentation; however, their performance is often hindered by scene ambiguities, overlapping objects, or missing parts. In this pa...
Hand segmentation is the basis of many vision-based hand gesture applications in human computer interaction (HCI). This paper proposes a novel method of skin color weighted dispar...
In this paper we propose a novel computational method to infer visual saliency in images. The method is based on the idea that salient objects should have local characteristics tha...
Environmental monitoring applications present a challenge to current background subtraction algorithms that analyze the temporal variability of pixel intensities, due to the comple...
