Parallel and Distributed Graph Cuts by Dual Decomposition
Graph cuts methods are at the core of many state-of-theart algorithms in computer vision due to their efficiency in computing globally optimal solutions. In this paper, we solve t...

Beyond Active Noun Tagging: Modeling Contextual Interactions for Multi-Class Active Learning
We present an active learning framework to simultaneously learn appearance and contextual models for scene understanding tasks (multi-class classification). Existing multi-class a...

Unsupervised Learning of Invariant Features Using Video
We present an algorithm that learns invariant features from real data in an entirely unsupervised fashion. The principal benefit of our method is that it can be applied without hu...

Surface Stereo with Soft Segmentation
This paper proposes a new stereo model which encodes the simple assumption that the scene is composed of a few, smooth surfaces. A key feature of our model is the surfacebased rep...

Simultaneous Foreground, Background, and Alpha Estimation for Image Matting
Image matting is the process of extracting a soft segmentation of an object in an image as defined by the matting equation. Most current techniques focus largely on computing the ...
