Video retargeting is the task of fitting standard-sized video into arbitrary screen. A compelling retargeting attempts to preserve most visual information of original video as wel...
This paper presents a new algorithm to solve the problem of co-saliency detection, i.e., to find the common salient objects that are present in both of a pair of input images. Unl...
Close-up (CU) is a photographic technique which tightly frames a person or an object. In movies, it is applied to guide audience attention and to evoke audience emotion. In this p...

Earth Mover Distance (EMD) is a popular distance to compute distances between Probability Density Functions (PDFs). It has been successfully applied in a wide selection of problem...
Co-occurrence histograms of oriented gradients (CoHOG) are powerful descriptors in object detection. In this paper, we propose to utilize a very large pool of CoHOG features with ...
This paper proposes a Bayesian approach for estimation of instrument parameter in convex image deconvolution. The parameters of the instrument response (PSF) are jointly estimated...
