Accelerating active contour algorithms with the Gradient Diffusion Field
Active contours were proposed by Kass et al. as a way to represent the contours of an image. Although the method is simple, one of its shortcomings is its inability to converge in...

A Hilbert warping method for camera-based finger-writing recognition
We propose a time-warping algorithm for recognizing finger actions by a camera. In the proposed method, an input image sequence is aligned to the reference sequences by phase-sync...

Usage of needle maps and shadows to overcome depth edges in depth map reconstruction
Photometric stereo is a method of recovering surface normals (needle map) from images. The surface integral of surface normals is used to reconstruct a depth map; however, the dep...

Ballot mark detection
Optical mark sensing, i.e., detecting whether a "bubble" has been filled in, may seem straightforward. However, on US election ballots the shape, intensity, size and pos...

Component-wise parameter smoothing for learning mixture models
In this paper, we propose a novel component-wise smoothing algorithm that constructs a hierarchy (or family) of smoothened log-likelihood surfaces. Our approach first smoothens th...
