Geodesic Active Contours with Combined Shape and Appearance Priors
We present a new object segmentation method that is based on geodesic active contours with combined shape and appearance priors. It is known that using shape priors can significan...

Blur and Contrast Invariant Fast Stereo Matching
We propose a novel approach for estimating a depth-map from a pair of rectified stereo images degraded by blur and contrast change. At each location in image space, information is...

Sub-optimal Camera Selection in Practical Vision Networks through Shape Approximation
Within a camera network, the contribution of a camera to the observations of a scene depends on its viewpoint and on the scene configuration. This is a dynamic property, as the sc...
