We present an energy based automatic image segmentation algorithm that uses a novel active contour scheme, called the stochastic active contour scheme (STACS). The algorithm overc...
In this paper, we present a new visibility-based feature extraction algorithm from discrete models as dense point clouds resulting from laser scans. Based on the observation that ...
Detection of saliency regions in images is useful for object based image understanding and object localization. In our work, we investigate a saliency region detection algorithm b...
Many well-known existing image matching methods are based on local texture analysis, and consequently have difficulty handling low-textured 3D objects, such as those man-made buil...
We consider classification of email messages as to whether or not they contain certain “email acts”, such as a request or a commitment. We show that exploiting the sequential ...
