In contrast to traditional Markov random field (MRF) models, we develop a Steerable Random Field (SRF) in which the field potentials are defined in terms of filter responses that ...
—We propose an automatic approach to soft color segmentation, which produces soft color segments with an appropriate amount of overlapping and transparency essential to synthesiz...
We develop a hierarchical, nonparametric statistical model for wavelet representations of natural images. Extending previous work on Gaussian scale mixtures, wavelet coefficients ...

Statistical appearance models are valuable tools in medical image segmentation. Current methods elegantly incorporate global shape and appearance, but can not cope with local appe...
An algorithm for speaker's lip segmentation and features extraction is presented in this paper. A color video sequence of speaker's face is acquired, under natural light...
