We propose a new objective function for superpixel segmentation. This objective function consists of two components: entropy rate of a random walk on a graph and a balancing term....
Image matting is the task of estimating a fore- and background
layer from a single image. To solve this ill posed
problem, an accurate modeling of the scene’s appearance
is ne...
This paper introduces BoostMap, a method that can significantly reduce retrieval time in image and video database systems that employ computationally expensive distance measures, ...

Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) is a popular feature extraction technique for face recognition. However, It often suffers from the small sample size problem when dealing with t...
The paper presents a fusion-tracker and pedestrian classifier for color and thermal cameras. The tracker builds a background model as a multi-modal distribution of colors and temp...
