We present a new fast method of modeling 3-D objects of arbitrary topology. The Level Set Methods have been used by many researchers to recover 3-D shapes of arbitrary topology. H...
In this paper, a novel design of external force for snake is proposed. This kind of external force is actually a field, which we call the Simulated Static Electric Field (SSEF). T...
Kernel functions can be viewed as a non-linear transformation that increases the separability of the input data by mapping them to a new high dimensional space. The incorporation ...
We have constructed a simple and fast system to detect frontal human faces in complex environment. There are two main contributions of our work: 1) We use a fast image segmentatio...
This paper presents a new framework for recovering superquadrics with global deformations from multi-view real range data. The framework aims at improving confidence and accuracy...

In this paper, we propose a robust approach for recognition of text embedded in natural scenes. Instead of using binary information as most other OCR systems do, we extract featur...

Computer vision requires the solution of many ill-posed problems such as optical flow, structure from motion, shape from shading, surface reconstruction, image restoration and ed...

Network intrusion detection is the problem of detecting anomalous network connections caused by intrusive activities. Many intrusion detection systems proposed before use both nor...
Active Contour (or Snake) Model is recognized as one of the efficient tools for 2D/3D image segmentation. However, traditional snake models prove to be limited in several aspects...
