Appearance-based methods, based on statistical models of the pixel values in an image (region) rather than geometrical object models, are increasingly popular in computer vision. I...
The mixing properties of several Markov chains to sample from configurations of a hard-core model have been examined. The model is familiar in the statistical physics of the liqui...
This paper describes an automatic tissue segmentation method for neonatal MRI. The analysis and study of neonatal brain MRI is of great interest due to its potential for studying e...

We present a semi-parametric latent variable model based technique for density modelling, dimensionality reduction and visualization. Unlike previous methods, we estimate the late...
Directional Coherence Maps as proposed by Guo in '98 are a very efficient acceleration technique for ray tracing based global illumination renderers. It vastly reduces the nu...
