We introduce a novel topological formulation for contour grouping. Our grouping criterion, called untangling cycles, exploits the inherent topological 1D structure of salient cont...
We propose a method of simultaneously calibrating the radialdistortionfunctionofacameraalongwith theotherinternal calibration parameters. The method relies on the use of a planar ...
We describe how to teach deformable models to maximize image segmentation correctness based on user-specified criteria, and we present a method for evaluating which criteria work ...
This paper proposes the variable block-size transform and context-based entropy coding techniques for the enhancement layer of FGS (Fine Granularity Scalable) video coding. First,...
Modern video-based endoscopes offer physicians a wide-angle field of view for minimally-invasive procedures. Unfortunately, inherent barrel distortion prevents accurate perception...
