Most recent rendering research has concentrated on two subproblems: modeling the reflection of light from materials, and calculating the direct and indirect illumination from lig...
Despite the increasing number of new devices entering the market allowing the capture or recording of information (whether it be marks on paper, scene, sound or moving images), th...
Two fast illumination invariant image retrieval methods for scenes comprising textured objects with variable illumination are introduced. Both methods are based on texture gradien...
This paper describes how a visual system can automatically define features of interest from the observation of a large enough number of natural images. The principle complements t...
We introduce an approach for realtime segmentation of a scene into foreground objects, background, and object shadows superimposed on the background. To segment foreground objects...
