Epipolar image analysis is a robust method for 3D scene depth reconstruction that uses all available views of an image sequence simultaneously. It is restricted to horizontal, lin...
We present a novel framework for intelligent search and retrieval by image content composition. Very different from the existing Query-by-Example paradigm, logical queries are exp...
The paper makes a short presentation of three existing methods for estimation of orientation tensors, the so-called structure tensor, quadrature filter based techniques, and techn...
The use of airbags into automobiles has significantly improved the safety of the occupants. Unfortunately, when airbags are deployed in the case of a crash, they can also cause fa...
Knowing the background image of a video scene simplifies the general video-object segmentation problem and therefore it is required by several automatic segmentation algorithms. T...

Lip segmentation is an essential stage in many multimedia systems such as videoconferencing, lip reading, or low bit rate coding communication systems. In this paper, we propose a...
The automatictrackingofbees whilepollinating macadamia trees is important for the understanding of reproductive biology and fruit yield. We present techniques for tracking these s...
