In background subtraction, cast shadows induce silhouette distortions and object fusions hindering performance of high level algorithms in scene monitoring. We introduce a nonpara...
In this paper, we present a mathematical theory for Marr's primal sketch. We first conduct a theoretical study of the descriptive Markov random field model and the generative...
Two basic problems in image interpretation are: a) determining which interpretations are the most plausible amoungst many possibilities; and b) controlling the search for plausibl...
This paper presents GeoS, a new algorithm for the efficient segmentation of n-dimensional image and video data. The segmentation problem is cast as approximate energy minimization ...
Environmental monitoring applications present a challenge to current background subtraction algorithms that analyze the temporal variability of pixel intensities, due to the comple...
