We present a novel approach, clustering on local image profiles, for statistically characterizing image intensity in object boundary regions. In deformable model segmentation, a d...

—We consider distributed estimation of the inverse covariance matrix in Gaussian graphical models. These models factorize the multivariate distribution and allow for efficient d...
The Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm is a popular tool in statistical estimation problems involving incomplete data or in problems which can be posed in a similar form, suc...
In this paper we study how to refresh a local copy of an autonomous data source to maintain the copy up-to-date. As the size of the data grows, it becomes more difficult to mainta...
In this paper we present a method of combining stereo and shape-from-shading information, taking account of the local reliability of each shape estimate. Local estimates of dispar...
