— One of the most difficult aspects of dealing with illumination effects in computer vision is accounting for specularity in the images of real objects. The specular regions in ...
We present in this paper a novel object tracking system based on 3D contour models. For this purpose, we integrate two complimentary likelihoods, defined on local color statistics...
We study the mixing time of the Glauber dynamics for general spin systems on bounded-degree trees, including the Ising model, the hard-core model (independent sets) and the antife...
In this work we propose a fully automated active contours based method for the detection and the segmentation of a moored manufactured object in an underwater image. Detection of o...
In the last few years, several new algorithms based on graph cuts have been developed to solve energy minimization problems in computer vision. Each of these techniques constructs...
