Background subtraction algorithms define the background
as parts of a scene that are at rest. Traditionally,
these algorithms assume a stationary camera, and identify
moving obj...
We present some theoretical results related to the problem
of actively searching for a target in a 3D environment,
under the constraint of a maximum search time. We define
the o...
We introduce a linearly weighted variant of the total
variation for vector fields in order to formulate regularizers
for multi-class labeling problems with non-trivial interclass...
We cast some new insights into solving the digital matting
problem by treating it as a semi-supervised learning
task in machine learning. A local learning based approach
and a g...
Scene appearance from the point of view of a light source
is called a reciprocal or dual view. Since there exists a large
diversity in illumination, these virtual views may be no...
Currently, video analysis algorithms suffer from lack of information
regarding the objects present, their interactions,
as well as from missing comprehensive annotated video
dat...

Common visual codebook generation methods used in
a Bag of Visual words model, e.g. k-means or Gaussian
Mixture Model, use the Euclidean distance to cluster features
into visual...
The aim of color constancy is to remove the effect of the
color of the light source. As color constancy is inherently
an ill-posed problem, most of the existing color constancy
...
We propose a polynomial-time algorithm for segmentation
and (open) boundary estimation which takes into account
a series of user-specified attraction points. In contrast
to exis...

We present an image restoration method that leverages
a large database of images gathered from the web. Given
an input image, we execute an efficient visual search to
find the c...
