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...

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...
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...
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 ...
Automatic annotation is an elegant alternative to explicit recognition in images. In annotation, the image is matched with keyword models, and the most relevant keywords are assig...
Mean shift is a popular method to segment images and videos. Pixels are represented by feature points, and the segmentation is driven by the point density in feature space. In thi...
This paper proposes a novel method to apply the standard graph cut technique to segmenting multimodal tensor valued images. The Riemannian nature of the tensor space is explicitly...
In this paper, we present a large-scale object retrieval system. The user supplies a query object by selecting a region of a query image, and the system returns a ranked list of i...
