We develop hierarchical, probabilistic models for objects, the parts composing them, and the visual scenes surrounding them. Our approach couples topic models originally developed...

Image representation has been a key issue in vision research for many years. In order to represent various local image patterns or objects effectively, it is important to study th...

This paper discusses the use of Binary Partition Trees (BPTs) for object detection. BPTs are hierarchical region-based representations of images. They define a reduced set of regio...
Abstract—A general variational framework for image approximation and segmentation is introduced. By using a continuous “line-process” to represent edge boundaries, it is poss...
Spiral Architecture is a relatively new and powerful approach to general purpose machine vision system. It contains very useful geometric and algebraic properties. Two algebraic o...
