Tracking of Cell Populations to Understand their Spatio-Temporal Behavior in Response to Physical Stimuli
We have developed methods for segmentation and tracking of cells in time-lapse phase-contrast microscopy images. Our multi-object Bayesian algorithm detects and tracks large num...

A Novel Feature Descriptor Invariant to Complex Brightness Changes
We describe a novel and robust feature descriptor called ordinal spatial intensity distribution (OSID) which is invariant to any monotonically increasing brightness changes. Many t...

Surface Feature Detection and Description with Applications to Mesh Matching
In this paper we revisit local feature detectors/descriptors developed for 2D images and extend them to the more general framework of scalar fields defined on 2D manifolds. We pro...

A Graph-based Approach to Skin Mole Matching Incorporating Template-Normalized Coordinates
Density of moles is a strong predictor of malignant melanoma. Some dermatologists advocate periodic fullbody scan for high-risk patients. In current practice, physicians compare...

(De) Focusing on Global Light Transport for Active Scene Recovery
Most active scene recovery techniques assume that a scene point is illuminated only directly by the illumination source. Consequently, global illumination effects due to inter-refl...
