Active Shape Model (ASM) is one of the most powerful statistical tools for face image alignment. In this paper, we propose a novel method, called Bunch-Active Shape Model (Bunch-AS...
Generalizing the concept of a Reeb graph, the Reeb space of a multivariate continuous mapping identifies points of the domain that belong to a common component of the preimage of ...
Consider a synchronized distributed system where each node can only observe the state of its neighbors. Such a system is called selfstabilizing if it reaches a stable global state ...
This paper presents a novel graph-theoretic approach, named ratio contour, to extract perceptually salient boundaries from a set of noisy boundary fragments detected in real image...
We introduce "contour stencils" as a simple method for detecting the local orientation of image contours and apply this detection to image zooming. Our approach is motiv...
