Algorithms for discrete energy minimization play a fundamental role for low-level vision. Known techniques include graph cuts, belief propagation (BP) and recently introduced tree-...
Color is one of the main visual cues and has been frequently used in image processing, analysis and retrieval. The extraction of highlevel color descriptors is an increasingly imp...
This paper introduces importance-driven volume rendering as a novel technique for automatic focus and context display of volumetric data. Our technique is a generalization of cut-...
We present an image-based Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) framework with online, appearanceonly loop closing. We adopt a layered approach with metric maps over small ...
Abstract— Man-made real-world environments are dominated by planar surfaces many of which constitute behaviorrelevant entities. Thus, the ability to perceive planar surfaces is v...
