Classifying materials from their appearance is a challenging problem, especially if illumination and pose conditions are permitted to change: highlights and shadows caused by 3D st...

Detecting low-level image features such as edges and ridges with spatial filters is improved if the scale of the features are known a priori. Scale-space representations and wavele...
A number of studies have demonstrated that infrared (IR) imagery offers a promising alternative to visible imagery due to it's insensitive to variations in face appearance cau...
Abstract. We propose an efficient alignment method for textured DooSabin subdivision surface templates. A variation of the inverse compositional image alignment is derived by intro...
Abstract. The shapes of many natural and man-made objects have curved contours. The images of such contours usually do not have sufficient distinctive features to apply conventiona...
Abstract. The deformation of applicable surfaces such as sheets of paper satisfies the differential geometric constraints of isometry (lengths and areas are conserved) and vanishin...

We present a vision based, adaptive, decision theoretic model of human facial displays in interactions. The model is a partially observable Markov decision process, or POMDP. A POM...
While there is a vast amount of literature considering PDE based inpainting and inpainting by texture synthesis, only a few publications are concerned with combination of both appr...
Abstract. Many interesting problems in computer vision can be formulated as a minimization problem for an energy functional. If this functional is given as an integral of a scalar-...
Abstract. Dimensionality reduction is an essential aspect of visual processing. Traditionally, linear dimensionality reduction techniques such as principle components analysis have...
