—Motion information is an important cue for a robot to separate foreground moving objects from the static background world. Based on the observation that the motion of the backgr...
Detecting shadows from images can significantly improve the performance of several vision tasks such as object detection and tracking. Recent approaches have mainly used illuminat...
We propose a method to detect objects and patterns in textures on general surfaces. Our approach applies the Chan?Vese variational model for active contours without edges to the p...
The 3D shape of the human body is useful for applications in fitness, games and apparel. Accurate body scanners, however, are expensive, limiting the availability of 3D body mode...
Abstract— We describe a framework for detecting and tracking continuous ”trails” in images and image sequences for autonomous robot navigation. Continuous trails are extended...
