In this paper we propose a novel computational method to infer visual saliency in images. The method is based on the idea that salient objects should have local characteristics tha...
A sparse representation based method is proposed for text detection from scene images. We start with edge information extracted using Canny operator and then group these edge poin...
We introduce an approach to accurately detect and segment partially occluded objects in various viewpoints and scales. Our main contribution is a novel framework for combining obj...
Incorporating shape priors in image segmentation has become a key problem in computer vision. Most existing work is limited to a linearized shape space with small deformation modes...

We define a new “contour person” model of the human body that has the expressive power of a detailed 3D model and the computational benefits of a simple 2D part-based model....
