Bottom-up, fully unsupervised segmentation remains a daunting challenge for computer vision. In the cosegmentation context, on the other hand, the availability of multiple images ...
It has been widely believed that biometric template aging does not occur for iris biometrics. We compare the match score distribution for short time-lapse iris image pairs, with a...
We propose a framework that performs action recognition and identity maintenance of multiple targets simultaneously. Instead of first establishing tracks using an appearance mode...
A greedy-based approach to learn a compact and discriminative dictionary for sparse representation is presented. We propose an objective function consisting of two components: ent...
We propose an adaptive figure-ground classification algorithm to automatically extract a foreground region using a user-provided bounding-box. The image is first over-segmented wi...
In this paper we present the first large-scale scene attribute database. First, we perform crowd-sourced human studies to find a taxonomy of 102 discriminative attributes. Next,...
This paper presents a cross-based framework of performing local multipoint filtering efficiently. We formulate the filtering process as a local multipoint regression problem, c...
The use of statistical pattern recognition models to segment the left ventricle of the heart in ultrasound images has gained substantial attention over the last few years. The mai...
Saliency estimation has become a valuable tool in image processing. Yet, existing approaches exhibit considerable variation in methodology, and it is often difficult to attribute...
This paper presents a method for learning 3D object templates from view labeled object images. The 3D template is defined in a joint appearance and geometry space, and is compose...
