In recent years, a growing number of studies examining how culture shapes computer-mediated communication (CMC) have appeared in the CHI and CSCW literature. Findings from these s...
This paper presents a novel method for detecting and localizing objects of a visual category in cluttered real-world scenes. Our approach considers object categorization and figure...
Given a continuous function f : X → IR on a topological space X, its level set f−1 (a) changes continuously as the real value a changes. Consequently, the connected components...
The last decade has seen a tremendous interest in gradient domain manipulation techniques for applications in vision and graphics including retinex, high dynamic range (HDR) tone m...
Spectral methods have been widely used in a broad range of application fields. One important object involved in such methods is the Laplace-Beltrami operator of a manifold. Indeed...
