A new hierarchical Bayesian model is proposed for image segmentation based on Gaussian mixture models (GMM) with a prior enforcing spatial smoothness. According to this prior, the...

In recent years particle filters have become a tremendously popular tool to perform tracking for non-linear and/or non-Gaussian models. This is due to their simplicity, generality...
The bag-of-words (BoW) model treats images as an unordered set of local regions and represents them by visual word histograms. Implicitly, regions are assumed to be identically an...

We introduce a new inference algorithm for Dirichlet process mixture models. While Gibbs sampling and variational methods focus on local moves, the new algorithm makes more global...
Abstract. To develop statistical models for shapes, we utilize an elastic string representation where curves (denoting shapes) can bend and locally stretch (or compress) to optimal...
