—We introduce an efficient maximum likelihood approach for one part of the color constancy problem: removing from an image the color cast caused by the spectral distribution of ...
Abstract—Given the size and confidence of pairwise local orderings, angular embedding (AE) finds a global ordering with a nearglobal optimal eigensolution. As a quadratic crite...
Which one comes first: segmentation or recognition? We propose a unified framework for carrying out the two simultaneously and without supervision. The framework combines a fle...
—In this paper, we present a comprehensive analysis of self-dual and m-idempotent operators. We refer to an operator as m-idempotent if it converges after m iterations. We focus ...
