Histograms of local appearance descriptors are a popular representation for visual recognition. They are highly discriminant with good resistance to local occlusions and to geomet...
We propose a novel approach for improving level set seg-
mentation methods by embedding the potential functions
from a discriminatively trained conditional random field
(CRF) in...

The use of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) has become an integral part of sea-ice monitoring and analysis in the polar regions. An important task in sea-ice analysis is to segment ...
Abstract. This paper presents a method to segment the hand over complex backgrounds, such as the face. The similar colors and texture of the hand and face make the problem particul...
We propose a region-based foreground object segmentation method capable of dealing with image sequences containing noise, illumination variations and dynamic backgrounds (as often...
