Level Set Based Multispectral Segmentation with Corners
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...

On the Illumination Invariance of the Level Lines under Directed Light: Application to Change Detection
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...

Large Scale Bayesian Inference and Experimental Design for Sparse Linear Models
Abstract. Many problems of low-level computer vision and image processing, such as denoising, deconvolution, tomographic reconstruction or superresolution, can be addressed by maxi...

A New Geometric Metric in the Space of Curves, and Applications to Tracking Deforming Objects by Prediction and Filtering
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 ...

An Upwind Finite-Difference Method for Total Variation-Based Image Smoothing
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...

Gradient-Based Methods for Sparse Recovery
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, ...

Local Image Features Resulting from 3-Dimensional Geometric Features, Illumination, and Movement: II
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...

Locally Parallel Texture Modeling
This article presents a new adaptive framework for locally parallel texture modeling. Oscillating patterns are modeled with functionals that constrain the local Fourier decompositi...

Continuous Primal-Dual Methods for Image Processing
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...

NESTA: A Fast and Accurate First-Order Method for Sparse Recovery
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...
