Local image features or interest points provide compact ract representations of patterns in an image. In this paper, we propose to extend the notion of spatial interest points int...
In mixed reality, especially in augmented virtuality which virtualizes real objects, it is important to estimate object surface reflectance properties to render the objects under ...
In this work we present Discriminative Random Fields (DRFs), a discriminative framework for the classification of image regions by incorporating neighborhood interactions in the l...
The boundaries of image regions necessarily consist of edges (in particular, step and roof edges), corners, and junctions. Currently, different algorithms are used to detect each ...
Medical imaging often involves the injection of contrast agents and the subsequent analysis of tissue enhancement patterns. Many important types of tissue have characteristic enha...
Video-based handwritten Character Recognition (VCR) system is a new type of character recognition system with many unique advantages over on-line character recognition system. Its...
Generating vehicle trajectories from video data is an important application of ITS (Intelligent Transportation Systems). We introduce a new tracking approach which uses model-base...
We address visual correspondence problems without assuming that scene points have similar intensities in different views.This situation is common, usually due to non-lambertian sc...
Is the real problem in resolving correspondence using current stereo algorithms the lack of the "right" matching criterion? In studying the related task of reconstructin...
