Interest point detection has a wide range of applications, such as image retrieval and object recognition. Given an image, many previous interest point detectors first assign inte...
Segmenting images into distinct material types is a very useful capability. Most work in image segmentation addresses the case where only a single image is available. Some methods ...

We consider the use of so-called top-points for object retrieval. These points are based on scale-space and catastrophe theory, and are invariant under gray value scaling and offse...
This paper presents a method for designing the illumination in an environment using optimization techniques applied to a radiosity based image synthesis system. An optimization of...
Many classes of images have the characteristics of sparse structuring of statistical dependency and the presence of conditional independencies among various groups of variables. S...
