Abstract. We present a novel statistical-model-based segmentation algorithm that addresses a recurrent problem in appearance model fitting and model-based segmentation: the "s...
Stochastic image modeling based on conventional Markov random fields is extensively discussed in the literature. A new stochastic image model based on Markov random fields is intr...
—There has been a growing interest in exploiting contextual information in addition to local features to detect and localize multiple object categories in an image. A context mod...
Pictorial Structures (PS) define a probabilistic model of 2D articulated objects in images. Typical PS models assume an object can be represented by a set of rigid parts connecte...
In recent years, with the rapid proliferation of digital images, the need to search and retrieve the images accurately, efficiently, and conveniently is becoming more acute. Automa...
