We describe a new variational lower-bound on the minimum energy configuration of a planar binary Markov Random Field (MRF). Our method is based on adding auxiliary nodes to every...

We present a novel representation for modeling textured
regions subject to smooth variations in orientation and
scale. Utilizing the steerable pyramid of Simoncelli and

One of the major drawbacks in block-based discrete cosine transform (BDCT) is the blocking artifacts at low bit rates. In this paper, an adaptive deblocking algorithm based on Mar...
This paper applies two dynamic Bayes networks that include theoretical and measured kinematic features of the vocal tract, respectively, to the task of labeling phoneme sequences ...
Segmentation of video foreground objects from background has many important applications, such as human computer interaction, video compression, multimedia content editing and man...
