The appearance of objects in scenes is determined by their shape, material properties and by the light field, and, in contradistinction, the appearance of those objects provides u...
Restricted Boltzmann Machines (RBM) are well-studied generative models. For image data, however, standard RBMs are suboptimal, since they do not exploit the local nature of image ...
This paper presents a generative model based approach to man-made structure detection in 2D natural images. The proposed approach uses a causal multiscale random field suggested i...
The mammalian visual system is one of the most intensively investigated sensory systems. However, our knowledge of the typical input it is operating on is surprisingly limited. To ...
Infinitely divisible cascades (IDC) were first introduced in one dimension to provide multifractal time series to model the so-called intermittency phenomenon in hydrodynamical ...
