We construct a Bayesian model that integrates topdown with bottom-up criteria, capitalizing on their relative merits to obtain figure-ground segmentation that is shape-specific an...
An image search for “clownfish” yields many photos of clownfish, each of a different individual of a different 3D shape in a different pose. Yet, to the human observer, this...
Abstract. We match shapes, even under severe deformations, via a smooth reparametrization of their integral invariant signatures. These robust signatures and correspondences are th...

Incorporating shape priors in image segmentation has become a key problem in computer vision. Most existing work is limited to a linearized shape space with small deformation modes...

We present a hierarchical system for object recognition that models neural mechanisms of visual processing identified in the mammalian ventral stream. The system is composed of ne...
