This paper presents a method that combines graphbased segmentation and multistage region merging to segment laparoscopic images. Starting with image preprocessing, including Gauss...
This paper introduces a new region based feature for object recognition and image matching. In contrast to many other region based features, this one makes use of colour in the fe...
In this paper, we present an approach for video surveillance involving (a) moving object detection, (b) tracking and (c) normal/abnormal event recognition. The detection step uses...
In robotic navigation, path planning is aimed at getting the optimum collision-free path between a starting and target locations. The optimality criterion depends on the surroundi...

A novel algorithm is introduced that can detect the presence of interpolation in images prior to compression as well as estimate the interpolation factor. The interpolation detect...
Stereo camera is a very important sensor for mobile robot localization and mapping. Its consecutive images can be used to estimate the location of the robot with respect to its en...
This paper describes an algorithm which calculates the approximate head pose of partially occluded faces without training or manual initialization. The presented approach works on...
In the context of human-computer interaction, information about head pose is an important cue for building a statement about humans’ focus of attention. In this paper, we presen...
This paper introduces a novel camera mouse driven by 3D model based visual face tracking. While camera becomes standard configuration for personal computer(PC) and computer speed...
