Recent work (Yedidia, Freeman, Weiss [22]) has shown that stable points of belief propagation (BP) algorithms [12] for graphs with loops correspond to extrema of the Bethe free ene...
To segregate overlapping objects into depth layers requires the integration of local occlusion cues distributed over the entire image into a global percept. We propose to model thi...
By exploiting an analogy with averaging procedures in fluid dynamics, we present a set of averaged template matching equations. These equations are analogs of the exact template m...
Within a human motion analysis system, body parts are modeled by simple virtual 3D rigid objects. Its position and orientation parameters at frame t + 1 are estimated based on the ...
—Motivated by our recent work on rooted tree matching, in this paper we provide a solution to the problem of matching two free (i.e., unrooted) trees by constructing an associati...
Most cost function based clustering or partitioning methods measure the compactness of groups of data. In contrast to this picture of a point source in feature space, some data sou...
