Knowing which edges in an image denote shadow edges and which are due to object boundaries or changes in surface reflectance has important applications in both computer vision and...
This paper presents an efficient method to integrate various spatial-temporal constraints to regularize the contour tracking. The global shape of the contour is represented in a p...
A common problem in most active contour methods is that the recursive searching scheme can only return a local optimal solution. Furthermore, the internal energy of the snake is n...
This paper describes a computational method for estimating the body reflectance function of color surfaces. The experimental apparatus consists of a vision system having seven spe...

This article presents a method aiming at quantifying the visual similarity between an image and a class model. This kind of problem is recurrent in many applications such as objec...
