This paper summarizes recent work at Microsoft on the development of novel direct models. The key characteristic of our approaches is the use of long-span segment level features t...
To detect faces in natural and unconstrained environments, we propose an approach which combines the advantages of both color and gray scale based methods. The idea consists of fi...
In this study, an effective foreground/background segmentation approach for bootstrapping video sequences is proposed. First, a modified block representation approach is used to c...
Motivated by the capabilities of modern storage architectures, we consider the following generalization of the data stream model where the algorithm has sequential access to multi...
In this article we address the issue of denoising photon-limited image data by deriving new and efficient multivariate Bayesian estimators that approximate the conditional expecta...
