We present a new method for training deformable models. Assume that we have training images where part locations have been labeled. Typically, one fits a model by maximizing the l...
Two Dimensional Hidden Markov Models (2D-HMMs) provide substantial benefits for many computer vision and image analysis applications. Many fundamental image analysis problems, inc...
