Traditional snakes, or active contours, are planar parametric curves. Their parameters are determined by optimizing the weighted sum of three energy terms: one depending on the dat...
This paper seeks to increase the efficiency of background subtraction algorithms for motion detection. Our method uses a quadtree-base hierarchical framework that samples a small ...
The recent advances in Image Based Rendering (IBR) has pioneered a new technology, free-view television, in which TVviewers select freely the viewing position and angle by the app...
Image decomposition consists of splitting an image into two or more components. One component is piecewise smooth and models object shapes. Another component consists of the textu...
