We consider the problem of reconstructing the shape of a surface with an arbitrary, spatially varying isotropic bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF), and introdu...
Using a saliency measure based on the global property of contour closure, we have developed a method that reliably segments out salient contours bounding unknown objects from real...

Representing shapes is a signi cant problem for vision systems that must recognize or classify objects. We derive a representation for a given shape by investigating its self-simi...
Abstract. The shapes of many natural and man-made objects have curved contours. The images of such contours usually do not have sufficient distinctive features to apply conventiona...
Abstract. A novel algorithm is presented for the 3D reconstruction of human action in long (> 30 second) monocular image sequences.A sequence is represented by a small set of au...
