This paper proposes a novel image modeling scheme for object detection and localization. Object appearance is modeled by the joint distribution of k-tuple salient point feature ve...

Many boundaries between objects in the world project onto curves in an image. However, boundaries involving natural objects (e.g., trees, hair, water, smoke) are often unworkable ...
The use of local features in computer vision has shown to be promising. Local features have several advantages including invariance to image transformations, independence of the ba...
In this paper we consider the problem of factoring illumination and texture from a pair of images of a diffuse object of known geometry. This problem arises frequently in 3D photo...
—In this paper, we present a robust and accurate algorithm for interactive image segmentation. The level set method is clearly advantageous for image objects with a complex topol...
