Abstract. In this paper we propose a novel variational technique for the knowledge based segmentation of two dimensional objects. One of the elements of our approach is the use of ...
Abstract. We present a markerless real-time, model-based 3D face tracking methodology. The system combines two robust and complimentary optimization-based strategies, namely active...
We consider the problem of image segmentation using active contours through the minimization of an energy criterion involving both region and boundary functionals. These functiona...
Object detection in clutter or occlusion is a hard problem in computer vision. We propose an object detection method based on contour grouping. Two stages are included: a novel di...
We present a novel matching and similarity evaluation method for planar geometric shapes represented by sets of polygonal curves. Given two shapes, the matching algorithm randomly...
