Abstract. A vision based head tracking approach is presented, combining foreground information with an elliptical head model based on the integration of gradient and skin-color inf...
The recent advanced representation for realistic real-world materials in virtual reality applications is the Bidirectional Texture Function (BTF) which describes rough texture app...
Image decomposition consists of splitting an image into two or more components. One component is piecewise smooth and models object shapes. Another component consists of the textu...
A key problem in model-based object recognition is selection, namely, the problem of determining which regions in the image are likely to come from a single object. In this paper w...
