Window Annealing over Square Lattice Markov Random Field
Monte Carlo methods and their subsequent simulated annealing are able to minimize general energy functions. However, the slow convergence of simulated annealing compared with more ...

Toward Global Minimum through Combined Local Minima
There are many local and greedy algorithms for energy minimization over Markov Random Field (MRF) such as iterated condition mode (ICM) and various gradient descent methods. Local ...

Extracting Moving People from Internet Videos
Abstract. We propose a fully automatic framework to detect and extract arbitrary human motion volumes from real-world videos collected from YouTube. Our system is composed of two s...

Solving Image Registration Problems Using Interior Point Methods
Abstract. This paper describes a novel approach to recovering a parametric deformation that optimally registers one image to another. The method proceeds by constructing a global c...

3D Face Model Fitting for Recognition
This paper presents an automatic efficient method to fit a statistical deformation model of the human face to 3D scan data. In a global to local fitting scheme, the shape parameter...

A Pose-Invariant Descriptor for Human Detection and Segmentation
We present a learning-based, sliding window-style approach for the problem of detecting humans in still images. Instead of traditional concatenation-style image location-based feat...

Locating Facial Features with an Extended Active Shape Model
We make some simple extensions to the Active Shape Model of Cootes et al. [4], and use it to locate features in frontal views of upright faces. We show on independent test data tha...
