In this paper we propose a real-time method for tracking hands through image sequences. Our method combines efficiently calculated color likelihood maps with a state-ofthe-art int...
An interactive human segmentation approach is described. Given regions of interest provided by users, the approach iteratively estimates segmentation via a generalized EM algorith...

Abstract. Given an image, digital matting consists in extracting a foreground element from the background. Standard methods are initialized with a trimap, a partition of the image ...
A robust character region identification approach is proposed here to deal with cover images using a differential top-hat transformation (DTT). The DTT is derived from morphologica...
We present a novel approach to image segmentation using iterated Graph Cuts based on multi-scale smoothing. We compute the prior probability obtained by the likelihood from a color...
