Ultrasound-Specific Segmentation via Decorrelation and Statistical Region-Based Active Contours
Segmentation of ultrasound images is often a very challenging task due to speckle noise that contaminates the image. It is well known that speckle noise exhibits an asymmetric dis...

Blind Haze Separation
Outdoor imaging is plagued by poor visibility conditions due to atmospheric scattering, particularly in haze. A major problem is spatially-varying reduction of contrast by stray r...

An Efficiency Criterion for 2D Shape Model Selection.
We propose efficiency of representation as a criterion for evaluating shape models, then apply this criterion to compare the boundary curve representation with the medial axis. We...

Separation of Reflection and Transparency Using Epipolar Plane Image Analysis
The effect of reflection and transparency is superimposed in many real world scenes, which is caused by glass-like shiny and transparent materials. The presence of such incidental ...

Object Recognition by Combining Appearance and Geometry
We present a new class of statistical models for part-based object recognition. These models are explicitly parametrized according to the degree of spatial structure that they can ...

A Sparse Object Category Model for Efficient Learning and Complete Recognition
We present a "parts and structure" model for object category recognition that can be learnt efficiently and in a weakly-supervised manner: the model is learnt from examp...

Comparison of Generative and Discriminative Techniques for Object Detection and Classification
Many approaches to object recognition are founded on probability theory, and can be broadly characterized as either generative or discriminative according to whether or not the dis...
