Diffuse interreflections mean that surface shading and shape are related in ways that are difficult to untangle; in particular, distant and invisible surfaces may affect the shadi...
Most video retrieval systems are multimodal, commonly relying on textual information, low- and high-level semantic features extracted from query visual examples. In this work, we ...
This paper describes and demonstrates the e ectiveness of several metrics for data level comparison of direct volume rendering (DVR) algorithms. The focus is not on speed ups from...
Active contours were proposed by Kass et al. as a way to represent the contours of an image. Although the method is simple, one of its shortcomings is its inability to converge in...
Abstract— In this paper we describe the problem of Visual Place Categorization (VPC) for mobile robotics, which involves predicting the semantic category of a place from image me...
