Recent results on stereo indicate that an accurate segmentation is crucial for obtaining faithful depth maps. Variational methods have successfully been applied to both image segm...
Taking a sequence of photographs using multiple illumination sources or settings is central to many computer vision and graphics problems. A growing number of recent methods use m...
A new method for localising and recognising hand poses and objects in real-time is presented. This problem is important in vision-driven applications where it is natural for a use...

In this paper, we investigate the effect of substantial inter-image intensity changes and changes in modality on the performance of keypoint detection, description, and matching a...
This paper describes a novel hand-based verification system based on palm-finger segmentation and fusion. The proposed system operates on 2D hand images acquired by placing the ha...

We show how to extend the ICP framework to nonrigid registration, while retaining the convergence properties of the original algorithm. The resulting optimal step nonrigid ICP fra...
Tracking of speckles in echocardiography enables the study of myocardium deformation, and thus can provide insights about heart structure and function. Most of the current methods...
Recent work in matting, hole filling, and compositing allows image elements to be mixed in a new composite image. Previous algorithms for matting foreground elements have assumed ...
Automatically determining facial similarity is a difficult and open question in computer vision. The problem is complicated both because it is unclear what facial features humans ...
