Textures can often more easily be described as a composition of subtextures than as a single texture. The paper proposes a way to model and synthesize such "composite textures...
Abstract. The lack of eye contact in desktop video teleconferencing substantially reduces the effectiveness of video contents. While expensive and bulky hardware is available on th...
Numerous statistical learning methods have been developed for visual recognition tasks. Few attempts, however, have been made to address theoretical issues, and in particular, stud...
In this paper, efficient and generic tools for calibration and 3D reconstruction are presented. These tools exploit geometric constraints frequently present in man-made environmen...
A visual representation of an object must meet at least three basic requirements. First, it must allow identification of the object in the presence of slight but unpredictable chan...

When estimating foreground and background layers (or equivalently an alpha matte), it is often the case that pixel measurements contain mixed colours which are a combination of for...

Abstract. We investigate a strategy for reconstructing of buildings from multiple (uncalibrated) images. In a similar manner to the Facade approach we first generate a coarse piece...
We present a new method for the detection and estimation of multiple illuminants, using one image of any object with known geometry and Lambertian reflectance. Our method obviates ...
