This paper addresses Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR), focusing on developing a hidden semantic concept discovery methodology to address effective semanticsintensive image ret...
Contours and junctions are important cues for perceptual organization and shape recognition. Detecting junctions locally has proved problematic because the image intensity surface...

Abstract. Sparse signal models learned from data are widely used in audio, image, and video restoration. They have recently been generalized to discriminative image understanding t...

We derive a probabilistic multi-scale model for contour completion based on image statistics. The boundaries of human segmented images are used as "ground truth". A prob...
In this paper, we present a novel active contour model, in which the traditional gradient descent optimization is replaced by graph cut optimization. The basic idea is to first de...
