Hierarchical models have been extensively studied in various domains. However, existing models assume fixed model structures or incorporate structural uncertainty generatively. In...
This paper presents a new approach for the binarization of seriously degraded manuscript. We introduce a new technique based on a Markov Random Field (MRF) model of the document. ...
This paper describes a computational model for deriving a decomposition of objects from laser rangefinder data. The process aims to produce a set of parts defined by compactness a...
In this paper, we present an approach to multi-view image-based 3D reconstruction by statistically inversing the ray-tracing based image generation process. The proposed algorithm...
In this paper we present a method of combining stereo and shape-from-shading information, taking account of the local reliability of each shape estimate. Local estimates of dispar...
