Object Segmentation by Alignment of Poselet Activations to Image Contours
In this paper, we propose techniques to make use of two complementary bottom-up features, image edges and texture patches, to guide top-down object segmentation towards higher pre...

Paradoxes in Learning and the Marginal Value of Information
We consider the Bayesian ranking and selection problem, in which one wishes to allocate an information collection budget as efficiently as possible to choose the best among severa...

Curious snakes: A minimum latency solution to the cluttered background problem in active contours
We present a region-based active contour detection algorithm for objects that exhibit relatively homogeneous photometric characteristics (e.g. smooth color or gray levels), embedd...

Surface color estimation based on inter- and intra-pixel relationships in outdoor scenes
We propose a method for estimating inherent surface color robustly against image noises from two registered images taken under different outdoor illuminations. We formulate the es...

Image Ranking and Retrieval Based on Multi-Attribute Queries
We propose a novel approach for ranking and retrieval of images based on multi-attribute queries. Existing image retrieval methods train separate classifiers for each word and he...

Natural Image Denoising: Optimality and Inherent Bounds
The goal of natural image denoising is to estimate a clean version of a given noisy image, utilizing prior knowledge on the statistics of natural images. The problem has been stud...

Shape Grammar Parsing via Reinforcement Learning
This paper tackles shape grammar parsing for facade segmentation using a novel optimization approach based on reinforcement learning (RL). To this end, we use a binary recursive g...

Detection Free Tracking: Exploiting Motion and Topology for Segmenting and Tracking under Entanglement.
Our goal is to segment multiple interacting and deforming agents in a video. Detectors often fail under large body deformation or agent entanglement. On the other hand, segmenting...

High-Frequency Shape and Albedo from Shading using Natural Image Statistics
We relax the long-held and problematic assumption in shape-from-shading (SFS) that albedo must be uniform or known, and address the problem of “shape and albedo from shading” ...
