Initialisation-Free Active Contour Segmentation
We present a region based active contour model which does not require any initialisation and is capable of modelling multi-modal image regions. Its external force is based on stat...

A Novel Parameter Estimation Algorithm for the Multivariate t-Distribution and Its Application to Computer
Abstract. We present a novel algorithm for approximating the parameters of a multivariate t-distribution. At the expense of a slightly decreased accuracy in the estimates, the prop...

A 2D Human Body Model Dressed in Eigen Clothing
Detection, tracking, segmentation and pose estimation of people in monocular images are widely studied. Two-dimensional models of the human body are extensively used, however, they...

Large-Scale Image Categorization with Explicit Data Embedding
Kernel machines rely on an implicit mapping of the data such that non-linear classification in the original space corresponds to linear classification in the new space. As kernel ...

Classification and Clustering via Dictionary Learning with Structured Incoherence
A clustering framework within the sparse modeling and dictionary learning setting is introduced in this work. Instead of searching for the set of centroid that best fit the data, ...
