Image segmentation is defined as partitioning an image into non-overlapping regions based on the intensity or texture. The active contour methods provide an effective way for segm...
Many edge detection schemes suffer from the lack of image quality at the global level. Global properties are more vital in grayscale images due to loss of hue and texture. This pa...
Traditional Shape-from-Shading (SFS) techniques aim to solve an under-constrained problem: estimating depth map from one single image. The results are usually brittle from real im...
Interest point detection has a wide range of applications, such as image retrieval and object recognition. Given an image, many previous interest point detectors first assign inte...
A solid noise is a function that defines a random value at each point in space. Solid noises have immediate and powerful applications in surface texturing, stochastic modeling, a...
