We use cluster analysis as a unifying principle for problems from low, middle and high level vision. The clustering problem is viewed as graph partitioning, where nodes represent ...
—We propose an automatic approach to soft color segmentation, which produces soft color segments with an appropriate amount of overlapping and transparency essential to synthesiz...
Abstract. The paper describes a fast system for appearance based image recognition . It uses local invariant descriptors and efficient nearest neighbor search. First, local affine ...
Abstract-- We aim for content-based image retrieval of textured objects in natural scenes under varying illumination and viewing conditions. To achieve this, image retrieval is bas...
Knowing the background image of a video scene simplifies the general video-object segmentation problem and therefore it is required by several automatic segmentation algorithms. T...
