Clustering is often formulated as the maximum likelihood estimation of a mixture model that explains the data. The EM algorithm widely used to solve the resulting optimization pro...
Robust integration of range images is an important task for building high-quality 3D models. Since range images, and in particular range maps from stereo vision, may have a substa...
We present a method for nonrigid registration of 2-D geometric shapes. Our contribution is twofold. First, we extend the classic chamfer-matching energy to a variational functional...
Abstract We tackle the problem of detecting occluded regions in a video stream. Under assumptions of Lambertian reflection and static illumination, the task can be posed as a vari...
This paper introduces a new framework for two-phase image segmentation, namely the Fuzzy Region Competition. A generic formulation is developed that extends in a convex way several...
