We present a data-driven approach to predict the importance of edges and construct a Markov network for image analysis based on statistical models of global and local image feature...
This is the second part of an investigation into the visual clues in illuminated scenes, in terms of the interactions between apparent contours, shade and cast shadow curves, bound...
Edge detection is one of the most studied problems in computer vision, yet it remains a very challenging task. It is difficult since often the decision for an edge cannot be made ...
The purpose of this paper is to show how the edge histogram descriptor for MPEG-7 can be efficiently utilized for image matching. Since the edge histogram descriptor recommended f...
We consider the problem of detecting object contours in natural images. In many cases, local luminance changes turn out to be stronger in textured areas than on object contours. Th...
