This paper introduces an affine invariant shape descriptor for maximally stable extremal regions (MSER). Affine invariant feature descriptors are normally computed by sampling the...
Scale and affine-invariant local features have shown excellent performance in image matching, object and texture recognition. This paper optimizes keypoint detection to achieve sta...
Abstract. This paper introduces an efficient way of representing textures using connected regions which are formed by coherent multi-scale over-segmentations. We show that the rece...
In this paper we propose a rigorous framework for texture image segmentation relying on region-based active contours (RBAC) and sparse texture representation. Such representations...
Abstract—This paper introduces a novel examplar-based inpainting algorithm through investigating the sparsity of natural image patches. Two novel concepts of sparsity at the patc...
