Statistics of ‘natural images’ provides useful priors for solving under-constrained problems in Computer Vision. Such statistics is usually obtained from large collections of ...
Image matting is the task of estimating a fore- and background
layer from a single image. To solve this ill posed
problem, an accurate modeling of the scene’s appearance
is ne...
A new scheme of learning similarity measure is proposed for content-based image retrieval (CBIR). It learns a boundary that separates the images in the database into two parts. Im...

This paper gives an algorithm for detecting and reading text in natural images. The algorithm is intended for use by blind and visually impaired subjects walking through city scen...
Natural images are approximately scale invariant resulting in long range statistical regularities that typically obey a power law. For example, images have considerable regularity...
