This paper presents a new statistical image segmentation algorithm, in which the texture features are modeled by Symmetric Alpha-Stable (SαS) distributions. These features are ef...
We develop a statistical framework for the simultaneous, unsupervised segmentation and discovery of visual object categories from image databases. Examining a large set of manuall...
We present a novel algorithm for unsupervised segmentation of natural images that harnesses the principle of minimum description length (MDL). Our method is based on observations ...

Gentropy is a genetic programming system that evolves two-dimensional procedural textures. It synthesizes textures by combining mathematical and image manipulation functions into ...
This paper explores the relationship between discourse structure and coverbal gesture. Using the idea of gestural cohesion, we show that coherent topic segments are characterized ...
