Grouping algorithms based on histograms over measured image features have very successfully been applied to textured image segmentation [2, 11, 6]. However, the competing goals of...
A common video indexing technique is to segment a video sequence into shots and then select representative key-frames. The process of shot break detection is a fundamental compone...
This paper presents a real-time computer vision system that tracks the motion of a tennis ball in 3D using multiple cameras. Ball tracking enables virtual replays, new game statis...
Many realistic visual recognition tasks are “open” in the sense that the number and nature of the categories to be learned are not initially known, and there is no closed set ...
In this paper, stochastic error-correcting parsing is proposed as a powerful and flexible method to post-process the results of an optical character recognizer (OCR). Determinist...
In the recent years support vector machines (SVMs) have been successfully applied to solve a large number of classification problems. Training an SVM, usually posed as a quadrati...
In this work we proposea new statistic deformable model that we call discriminant snake for 3D reconstruction in volumetric images. Our discriminant snake generalises the classica...
