Image segmentation plays an important role in computer vision and image analysis. In this paper, the segmentation problem is formulated as a labeling problem under a probability m...
We present a unified method for simultaneously acquiring both the location and the silhouette shape of people in outdoor scenes. The proposed algorithm integrates top-down and bot...
We introduce a novel topological formulation for contour grouping. Our grouping criterion, called untangling cycles, exploits the inherent topological 1D structure of salient cont...
Visual codebook based quantization of robust appearance descriptors extracted from local image patches is an effective means of capturing image statistics for texture analysis and...
This paper describes a novel application of support vector machines and multiscale texture and color invariants to a problem in biological oceanography: the identification of 6 sp...
