Markov random field (MRF) theory provides a basis for modeling contextual constraints in visual processing and interpretation. It enables us to develop optimal vision algorithms sy...
This paper deals with the problem of tracking multiple targets in a distributed network of self-configuring pan-tilt-zoom cameras. We focus on applications where events unfold over...
We describe a novel device that can be used as a 2.5D
“scanner” for acquiring surface texture and shape. The device
consists of a slab of clear elastomer covered with a
refl...
This paper covers a fundamental problem of local phase
based signal processing: the isotropic generalization of the
classical 1D analytic signal to two dimensions. The well
know...

Active contours is a popular technique for image segmentation.
However, active contour tend to converge to the
closest local minimum of its energy function and often requires
a ...
