We present a 3-level hierarchical model for localizing human bodies in still images from arbitrary viewpoints. We first fit a simple tree-structured model defined on a small landm...

The paper deals with grouping of edges to contours of shapes using only local symmetry and continuity. Shape skeletons are used to generate the search space for a version of the M...
This paper suggests a new image compression scheme, using the discrete wavelet transformation (DWT), which is based on attempting to preserve the texturally important image charac...

Abstract--We have developed a novel, model-based active contour algorithm, termed "snakules", for the annotation of spicules on mammography. At each suspect spiculated ma...

This paper describes a skeletonization process for grayscale or color images based on the diffusion of the color gradient vectors by using a simple iterative regularization scheme...
