In this paper we introduce new type of variational segmentation cost functions and associated active contour methods that are based on pairwise similarities or dissimilarities of t...
For a surface patch on a smooth, two-dimensional surface in IR3 , low-distortion parameterizations are described in terms of minimizers of suitable energy functionals. Appropriate...
To learn a new visual category from few examples, prior knowledge from unlabeled data as well as previous related categories may be useful. We develop a new method for transfer le...
Abstract. This paper presents a novel approach to unsupervised texture segmentation that relies on a very general nonparametric statistical model of image neighborhoods. The method...
Many approximation algorithms have been presented in the last decades for hard search problems. The focus of this paper is on cryptographic applications, where it is desired to de...
