Towards the goal of realizing a generic automatichuman activity recognition system, a new formalism is proposed. Activities are described by a chained hierarchical representation ...
This paper investigates segmentation-based image descriptors for object category recognition. In contrast to commonly used interest points the proposed descriptors are extracted f...
—This paper addresses the problem of self-validated labeling of Markov random fields (MRFs), namely to optimize an MRF with unknown number of labels. We present graduated graph c...
We present a new approach for the coarse segmentation of tubular structures in 3D image data. Our algorithm, which requires only few initial values and minimal user interaction, c...
In this paper we describe work on the automatic recognition of island structures. In an initial phase several test persons were asked to mark groups of islands that they perceived...
