This paper deals with fast video segmentation using active contours. Region-based active contours is a powerful technique for video segmentation. However most of these methods are...
Searching an image for the occurrence of a pattern or a template is an essential step in a number of image processing applications. We propose a new multiresolution matching crite...
We propose a new scheme, named contourlet, that provides a flexible multiresolution, local and directional image expansion. The contourlet transform is realized efficiently via a ...
Area lights add tremendous realism, but rendering them interactively proves challenging. Integrating visibility is costly, even with current shadowing techniques, and existing met...
Abstract. Comparison of images requires a distance metric that is sensitive to the spatial location of objects and features. Such sensitive distance measures can, however, be compu...
