One of the major problems in modeling images for vision tasks is that images with very similar structure may locally have completely different appearance, e.g., images taken under...
The appearance of surface texture as it varies with angular changes of view and illumination is becoming an increasingly important research topic. The bidirectional texture functi...
Cloth is a complex visual pattern with flexible 3D shape and illumination variations. Computing the 3D shape of cloth from a single image is of great interest to both computer gra...
Image matching is an essential task in many computer vision applications. It is obvious that thorough utilization of all available information is critical for the success of match...
We propose a new approach called "appearance clustering" for scene analysis. The key idea in this approach is that the scene points can be clustered according to their s...
