In this paper we propose diffusion distance, a new dissimilarity measure between histogram-based descriptors. We define the difference between two histograms to be a temperature f...
Diffuse interreflections cause effects that make current theories of shape from shading unsatisfactory. We show that distant radiating surfaces produce radiosity effects at low sp...
We present a novel variational approach to top-down image segmentation, which accounts for significant projective transformations between a single prior image and the image to be s...
Traditional snakes, or active contours, are planar parametric curves. Their parameters are determined by optimizing the weighted sum of three energy terms: one depending on the dat...
In this paper we propose a set of algorithms that combine the anisotropic smoothing using the heat kernel with the outlier rejection capability of robust statistics. The proposed ...
