Abstract — The natural environments that robotic applications often encounter can present difficult problems for imagebased task execution. Prior efforts have used both grayscale...
Procedural textures can be effectively used to enhance the visual realism of computer rendered images. Procedural textures can provide higher realism for 3-D objects than traditio...
Region-based functionality offered by the MPEG-4 video compression standard is also appealing for still images, for example to permit object-based queries of a still-image database...
A novel two-stage level set evolution method for detecting man-made objects in aerial images is described. The method is based on a modified Mumford-Shah model and it uses a two-s...
