We introduce a new method for the recognition of partially occluded objects represented only by their contours. Object description, which stems from the inflection point detectio...
We consider the problem of detecting object contours in natural images. In many cases, local luminance changes turn out to be stronger in textured areas than on object contours. Th...
We propose a novel shape model for object detection called Fan Shape Model (FSM). We model contour sample points as rays of final length emanating for a reference point. As in fo...
In this paper, we present a modified snake model for the problem of general video object tracking. We introduce a new external force into the snake equation based on the predictiv...
We introduce a new class of distinguished regions based on detecting the most salient convex local arrangements of contours in the image. The regions are used in a similar way to ...
