Auxiliary Variables for Markov Random Fields with Higher Order Interactions
Markov Random Fields are widely used in many image processing applications. Recently the shortcomings of some of the simpler forms of these models have become apparent, and models ...

Adaptive Bayesian Contour Estimation: A Vector Space Representation Approach
Abstract. We propose a vector representation approach to contour estimation from noisy data. Images are modeled as random elds composed of a set of homogeneous regions contours (bo...

Bayesian Models for Finding and Grouping Junctions
In this paper, we propose two Bayesian methods for detecting and grouping junctions. Our junction detection method evolves from the Kona approach, and it is based on a competitive ...

A New Algorithm for Energy Minimization with Discontinuities
Many tasks in computer vision involve assigning a label (such as disparity) to every pixel. These tasks can be formulated as energy minimization problems. In this paper, we conside...

Maximum Likelihood Inference of 3D Structure from Image Sequences
The paper presents a new approach to recovering the 3D rigid shape of rigid objects from a 2D image sequence. The method has two distinguishing features: it exploits the rigidity o...

Epipolar Geometry Estimation by Tensor Voting in 8D
We present a novel, efficient, initializationfree approach to the problem of epipolar geometry estimation, by formulating it as one of hyperplane inference from a sparse and noisy...

Robust Estimation of Curvature Information from Noisy 3D Data for Shape Description
We describe an effective and novel approach to infer sign and direction of principal curvatures at each input site from noisy 3D data. Unlike most previous approaches, no local su...

Subpixel-Precise Extraction of Watersheds
An approach to extract watersheds and watercourses, as well as their corresponding valleys and hills, from images with subpixel precision is proposed. The critical points of the t...
