Piecewise constant and piecewise smooth Mumford-Shah (MS) models have been widely studied and used for image segmentation. More complicated than piecewise constant MS, global Gaus...
This paper presents a new statistical model for detecting and tracking deformable objects such as pedestrians, where large shape variations induced by local shape deformation can ...
Abstract. In this paper, we propose a novel and fast method to localize and track needles during image-guided interventions. Our proposed method is comprised of framework of needle...
This paper addresses the problem of applying powerful pattern recognition algorithms based on kernels to efficient visual tracking. Recently Avidan [1] has shown that object recog...

Most algorithms for real-time tracking of deformable shapes provide sub-optimal solutions for a suitable energy minimization task: The search space is typically considered too lar...
