How important is a particular object in a photograph of a complex scene? We propose a definition of importance and present two methods for measuring object importance from human o...
In this paper, we present a new approach for image labeling based on the recently introduced graph-shifts algorithm. Graph-shifts is an energy minimization algorithm that does lab...
In numerous applications of image processing, e.g. astronomical and medical imaging, data-noise is well-modeled by a Poisson distribution. This motivates the use of the negative-lo...
The 3D shape of the human body is useful for applications in fitness, games and apparel. Accurate body scanners, however, are expensive, limiting the availability of 3D body mode...
This paper describes recent work on the use of regional data extracted from segmented images for use as search keys in an image database query system. The motivation for this work...
