Straightening and Partitioning Shapes
A method for partitioning shapes is described based on a global convexity measure. Its advantages are that its global nature makes it robust to noise, and apart from the number of ...

Qualitative Estimation of Depth in Monocular Vision
Abstract. In this paper we propose two techniques to qualitatively estimate distance in monocular vision. Two kinds of approaches are described, the former based on texture analysi...
