Given an image, we propose a hierarchical generative
model that classifies the overall scene, recognizes and segments
each object component, as well as annotates the image
with ...
Automatic image annotation has attracted a lot of attention recently as a method for facilitating semantic indexing and text-based retrieval of visual content. In this paper, we pr...
—In this work, we address the problem of performing class-specific unsupervised object segmentation, i.e., automatic segmentation without annotated training images. Object segmen...
This paper addresses automatic image annotation problem and its application to multi-modal image retrieval. The contribution of our work is three-fold. (1) We propose a probabilis...
Biological images have the potential to reveal complex signatures that may not be amenable to morphological modeling in terms of shape, location, texture, and color. An effective ...
