We present a new approach to iteratively estimate both
high-quality depth map and alpha matte from a single image
or a video sequence. Scene depth, which is invariant
to illumin...

In this paper we propose a locally adaptive image threshold technique via variational energy minimization. The novelty of the proposed method is that from an image it automaticall...
In this paper we address the problem of designing energy minimizing collision-free maneuvers for multiple agents moving on a plane. We show that the problem is equivalent to that o...

Brain surface conformal mapping research has been successful and this motivates our more general investigation of 3D volumetric brain harmonic mapping. By transforming the full 3D...

A significant challenge in Text-to-Speech (TtS) synthesis is the formulation of the prosodic structures (phrase breaks, pitch accents, phrase accents and boundary tones) of uttera...
