Intra prediction has been efficiently employed in block based image/video coding to remove the spatial redundancy. In this paper, we propose a position dependent linear intra pred...
In this paper we show that, in case of uncertainties during the estimation, overconfident posterior probabilities tend to mislead the performance of soft-decoders. Maximum likeliho...
Combining information from the higher level and the lower level has long been recognized as an essential component in holistic image understanding. However, an efficient inferenc...
In this paper, we propose a novel framework for contour based object detection. Compared to previous work, our contribution is three-fold. 1) A novel shape matching scheme suitabl...
The most popular way to use probabilistic models in vision is first to extract some descriptors of small image patches or object parts using well-engineered features, and then to...
