In this paper we propose a novel computational method to infer visual saliency in images. The method is based on the idea that salient objects should have local characteristics tha...
Figure-ground discrimination is an important problem in computer vision. Previous work usually assumes that the color distribution of the figure can be described by a low dimensio...
In this paper, we propose an MMSE a priori SNR estimator for speech enhancement. This estimator has similar benefits to the well-known decision-directed approach, but does not req...
We present a novel approach for discretely optimizing contours on the surface of a triangle mesh. This is achieved through the use of a minimum ratio cycle (MRC) algorithm, where ...
Small mobile robots typically have little on-board processing power for time-consuming vision algorithms. Here we show how they can quickly extract very dense yet highly useful inf...
