In this paper we propose an active contour model for segmentation based on the Chan-Vese model. The new model can capture inherent sharp features, i.e., the sharp corners of object...
We analyze the illumination invariance of the level lines of an image. We show that if the scene surface has Lambertian reflectance and the light is directed, then a necessary and...

Abstract. Many problems of low-level computer vision and image processing, such as denoising, deconvolution, tomographic reconstruction or superresolution, can be addressed by maxi...
We define a novel metric on the space of closed planar curves which decomposes into three intuitive components. According to this metric centroid translations, scale changes and ...

In this paper we study finite-difference approximations to the variational problem using the BV smoothness penalty that was introduced in an image smoothing context by Rudin, Osh...

The convergence rate is analyzed for the sparse reconstruction by separable approximation (SpaRSA) algorithm for minimizing a sum f(x) + ψ(x), where f is smooth and ψ is convex, ...
This is the second part of an investigation into the visual clues in illuminated scenes, in terms of the interactions between apparent contours, shade and cast shadow curves, bound...
This article presents a new adaptive framework for locally parallel texture modeling. Oscillating patterns are modeled with functionals that constrain the local Fourier decompositi...
In this article we study a continuous Primal-Dual method proposed by Appleton and Talbot and generalize it to other problems in image processing. We interpret it as an Arrow-Hurwi...
Abstract. Accurate signal recovery or image reconstruction from indirect and possibly undersampled data is a topic of considerable interest; for example, the literature in the rece...
