Describing shots through the occurrence of semantic concepts is the first step towards modeling the content of a video semantically. An important challenge is to automatically se...
We propose a novel energy term to make the curve evolution quite robust to spurious edges. The physical intuition behind the formulation is that an object edge is generally contin...
This paper introduces a novel energy minimization method, namely iterated cross entropy with partition strategy (ICEPS), into the Markov random field theory. The solver, which is...
