Abstract. We describe an efficient approach to construct shape models composed of contour parts with partially-supervised learning. The proposed approach can easily transfer parts ...
Many segmentation algorithms describe images in terms of a hierarchy of regions. Although such hierarchies can produce state of the art segmentations and have many applications, th...
Abstract. In this paper we propose a probabilistic framework that models shape variations and infers dense and detailed 3D shapes from a single silhouette. We model two types of sh...
Abstract. We propose new ideas and efficient algorithms towards bridging the gap between bag-of-features and constellation descriptors for image matching. Specifically, we show ho...
Abstract. Computer vision algorithms for individual tasks such as object recognition, detection and segmentation have shown impressive results in the recent past. The next challeng...
This paper presents algorithms for efficiently computing the covariance matrix for features that form sub-windows in a large multidimensional image. For example, several image proc...
We present a data-driven approach to predict the importance of edges and construct a Markov network for image analysis based on statistical models of global and local image feature...
This paper presents a non-local kernel regression (NL-KR) method for image and video restoration tasks, which exploits both the non-local self-similarity and local structural regul...
Abstract. We use a simple yet powerful higher-order conditional random field (CRF) to model optical flow. It consists of a standard photoconsistency cost and a prior on affine mo...
