Video coding is a complex process, comprising a combination of spatial, temporal and statistical data reduction techniques. Of these techniques, motion estimation taking advantage...
Given a single image of an arbitrary road, that may not
be well-paved, or have clearly delineated edges, or some
a priori known color or texture distribution, is it possible
for...
We present a new approach to iteratively estimate both
high-quality depth map and alpha matte from a single image
or a video sequence. Scene depth, which is invariant
to illumin...

City environments often lack textured areas, contain
repetitive structures, strong lighting changes and therefore
are very difficult for standard 3D modeling pipelines.
We prese...
We introduce a new technique that can reduce any
higher-order Markov random field with binary labels into
a first-order one that has the same minima as the original.
Moreover, w...
