A Variational Approach for Object Contour Tracking
In this paper we describe a new framework for the tracking of closed curves described through implicit surface modeling. The approach proposed here enables a continuous tracking al...

Implicit Free-Form-Deformations for Multi-frame Segmentation and Tracking
Abstract. In this paper, we propose a novel technique to address motion estimation and tracking. Such technique represents the motion field using a regular grid of thin-plate spli...

Trimap Segmentation for Fast and User-Friendly Alpha Matting
Abstract. Given an image, digital matting consists in extracting a foreground element from the background. Standard methods are initialized with a trimap, a partition of the image ...

Towards PDE-Based Image Compression
While methods based on partial differential equations (PDEs) and variational techniques are powerful tools for denoising and inpainting digital images, their use for image compress...

Advances in Variational Image Segmentation Using AM-FM Models: Regularized Demodulation and Probabilistic Cue Integration
Current state-of-the-art methods in variational image segmentation using level set methods are able to robustly segment complex textured images in an unsupervised manner. In recent...

Color Image Deblurring with Impulsive Noise
Abstract. We propose a variational approach for deblurring and impulsive noise removal in multi-channel images. A robust data fidelity measure and edge preserving regularization a...

Using Top-Points as Interest Points for Image Matching
We consider the use of so-called top-points for object retrieval. These points are based on scale-space and catastrophe theory, and are invariant under gray value scaling and offse...

Deep Structure of Images in Populations Via Geometric Models in Populations
We face the question of how to produce a scale space of image intensities relative to a scale space of objects or other characteristic image regions filling up the image space, whe...

A Note on Local Morse Theory in Scale Space and Gaussian Deformations
Abstract. In this note we study the local behavior of singularities occurring in scale space under Gaussian blurring. Based on ideas from singularity theory for vector fields this...
