Active contours were proposed by Kass et al. as a way to represent the contours of an image. Although the method is simple, one of its shortcomings is its inability to converge in...
In this paper, we propose a new variational framework for computing continuous curve skeletons from discrete objects that are suitable for structural shape representation.
We have...
Multistage residual vector quantizers (RVQ) with optimal direct sum decoder codebooks have been successfully designed and implemented for data compression. Due to its multistage s...
For many years, object tracking in images has suffered from the problems of occlusions and illumination effects. In order to resolve occlusion problems, we have been proposing the...
We propose a fast batch learning method for linearchain Conditional Random Fields (CRFs) based on Newton-CG methods. Newton-CG methods are a variant of Newton method for high-dime...
