The purpose of this study is to develop an optimum design method for roof shapes satisfying both aesthetic sensibility (beauty) and economic evaluation by using the genetic algori...
A novel shape descriptor, which can be extracted from the major object edges automatically and used for the multimedia content-based retrieval in multimedia databases, is presented...
We address the problem of object detection and segmentation using holistic properties of object shape. Global shape representations are highly susceptible to clutter inevitably pr...
This paper deals with region-of-interest (ROI) segmentation in video sequences. The goal is to determine in one frame the region which best matches, in terms of a similarity measur...
We present a novel framework for learning a joint shape and appearance model from a large set of un-labelled training examples in arbitrary positions and orientations. The shape an...
