We present a new framework in which image segmentation, figure/ground organization, and object detection all appear as the result of solving a single grouping problem. This frame...
In this paper we present a novel vision-based system for automatic detection and extraction of complex road networks from various sensor resources such as aerial photographs, sate...
We propose a method of image segmentation by integrating pairwise attraction and directional repulsion derived from local grouping and figure-ground cues. These two kinds of pairw...
This paper addresses the “boundary ownership” problem,
also known as the figure/ground assignment problem.
Estimating boundary ownerships is a key step in perceptual
organiz...
—This paper introduces a novel contextual model for the recognition of people’s visual focus of attention (VFOA) in meetings from audio-visual perceptual cues. More specificall...
