Convergent Message-Passing Algorithms for Inference over General Graphs with Convex Free Energies
Inference problems in graphical models can be represented as a constrained optimization of a free energy function. It is known that when the Bethe free energy is used, the fixedpo...

Shape and Appearance Repair for Incomplete Point Surfaces
This paper presents a new surface content completion framework that can restore both shape and appearance from scanned, incomplete point set inputs. First, the geometric holes can...

Tracking of a Non-Rigid Object via Patch-based Dynamic Appearance Modeling and Adaptive Basin Hopping Monte Carlo Sampling
We propose a novel tracking algorithm for the target of which geometric appearance changes drastically over time. To track it, we present a local patch-based appearance model and p...
