Probabilistic PCA and ICA Subspace Mixture Models for Image Segmentation
High-dimensional data, such as images represented as points in the space spanned by their pixel values, can often be described in a significantly smaller number of dimensions than...

Detecting Multiple Texture Planes using Local Spectral Distortion
This paper presents a spectral method for identifying multiple texture planes. We commence by showing how pairs of spectral peaks can be used to make direct estimates of the slant...

Resolving Visual Uncertainty and Occlusion through Probabilistic Reasoning
Tracking interacting human body parts from a single two-dimensional view is difficult due to occlusion, ambiguity and spatio-temporal discontinuities. We present a Bayesian networ...

A Comparative Study on Disparity Analysis Based on Convergent and Rectified Views
In this paper, we present results of a comparative study on disparity analysis of convergent stereo systems. If the epipolar geometry is known, disparity analysis can be performed...

Quantifying Ambiguities in Inferring Vector-Based 3D Models
This paper presents a framework for directly addressing issues arising from self-occlusions and ambiguities due to the lack of depth information in vector-based representations. V...

A New Approach for Vanishing Point Detection in Architectural Environments
A man-made environment is characterized by a lot of parallel lines and a lot of orthogonal edges. In this article, a new method for detecting the three mutual orthogonal direction...

Motion Segmentation in Long Image Sequences
Long image sequences provide a wealth of information, which means that a compact representation is needed to efficiently process them. In this paper a novel representation for mot...

Data and Decision Level Fusion of Temporal Information for Automatic Target Recognition
Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) is a demanding application that requires separation of targets from a noisy background in a sequence of images. In our previous work [5] the bac...

A New Easy Camera Calibration Technique Based on Circular Points
Inspired by Zhang's work, a new easy technique for calibrating a camera based on circular points is proposed. The proposed technique only requires the camera to observe a new...

A Colour Object Search Algorithm
In this paper a colour object search algorithm is presented. Given an image, areas of interest are generated (for each database model) by isolating regions whose colours are simil...
