Abstract. There is a huge diversity of definitions of "visually meaningful" image segments, ranging from simple uniformly colored segments, textured segments, through sym...
We present a method for estimating intrinsic images from a fixed-viewpoint image sequence captured under changing illumination directions. Previous work on this problem reduces the...

In this paper we present a new descriptor for spatial distribution of motion activity in video sequences. We construct a histogram of areas of distinct regions (or "blobs&quo...
We present a novel face recognition method using automatically extracted sketch by a multi-layer grammatical face model. First, the observed face is parsed into a 3layer (face, pa...
