We devise a statistical framework for edge detection by performing a statistical analysis of zero crossings of the second derivative of an image. This analysis enables us to estim...
In recent years, much progress has been made in outdoor autonomous navigation. However, safe navigation is still a daunting challenge in terrain containing vegetation. In this pap...
Intrinsic images are a useful midlevel description of scenes proposed by Barrow and Tenenbaum [1]. An image is decomposed into two images: a reflectance image and an illumination ...
Traditionally, statistical models for image auto-annotation have been coupled with image segmentation. Considering the performance of the current segmentation algorithms, it can b...
A texture image is of noisy nature in its spatial representation. As a result, the data hidden in texture images, in particular in raw texture images, are hard to detect with curr...
