Abstract. Given an image, digital matting consists in extracting a foreground element from the background. Standard methods are initialized with a trimap, a partition of the image ...
We address the problem of object detection and segmentation using holistic properties of object shape. Global shape representations are highly susceptible to clutter inevitably pr...
The goal in image segmentation is to label pixels in an image based on the properties of each pixel and its surrounding region. Recently Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) has e...
We present a new measure for evaluation of algorithms for the detection of regions of interest (ROI) in, e.g., attention mechanisms. In contrast to existing measures, the present a...
We present spatio-temporal feature descriptors that can be inferred from video and used as building blocks in action recognition systems. They capture the evolution of ``elementar...
