Huge amount of manual efforts are required to annotate large image/video archives with text annotations. Several recent works attempted to automate this task by employing supervis...
We present a robust method for 3D reconstruction of closed surfaces from sparsely sampled parallel contours. A solution to this problem is especially important for medical segment...
We show how to use a sampling method to find sparsely clad people in static images. People are modeled as an assembly of nine cylindrical segments. Segments are found using an EM ...
This paper addresses the problem of segmenting an image into regions consistent with user-supplied seeds (e.g., a sparse set of broad brush strokes). We view this task as a statis...
Edit distance matching has been used in literature for word spotting with characters taken as primitives. The recognition rate however, is limited by the segmentation inconsistenci...
