So far global optimization techniques have been developed independently for the tasks of shape matching and image segmentation. In this paper we show that both tasks can in fact b...
Natural scene images coming usually from lowresolution sensors in embedded context suffer from low text recognition results. Due to several types of degradations, existing algorit...
Accurate and precise estimation of the noise variance is often of key importance as an input parameter for posterior image processing tasks. In MR images, background data is well s...
We present a novel histogram method for statistically characterizing the appearance of deformable models. In deformable model segmentation, appearance models measure the likelihoo...

The two major problems raised by a region-based image retrieval system are the automatic definition and description of regions. In this paper we first present a technique of unsup...
