—Extracting a signature from a check with patterned background is a thorny problem in image segmentation. Methods based on threshold techniques often necessitate meticulous postp...
Scene analysis is a major aspect of perception and continues to challenge machine perception. This paper addresses the scene-analysis problem by integrating a primitive segmentatio...
—This paper presents a new framework for the completion of missing information based on local structures. It poses the task of completion as a global optimization problem with a ...
We extend the well-known BFGS quasi-Newton method and its memory-limited variant LBFGS to the optimization of nonsmooth convex objectives. This is done in a rigorous fashion by ge...
—This paper presents a procedure for automatic extraction and segmentation of a class-specific object (or region) by learning class-specific boundaries. We describe and evaluat...
