In background subtraction, cast shadows induce silhouette distortions and object fusions hindering performance of high level algorithms in scene monitoring. We introduce a nonpara...
This paper presents a novel approach for reconstructing free-form, texture-mapped, 3D scene models from a single painting or photograph. Given a sparse set of user-specified const...

Image-based and model-based methods are two representative rendering methods for generating virtual images of objects from their real images. Extensive research on these two metho...
This paper deals with shading and AAMs. Shading is created by lighting change. It can be of two types: selfshading and external shading. The effect of self-shading can be explicit...
We present algorithms for improved Viterbi decoding for the case of hidden semi-Markov models. By carefully constructing directed acyclic graphs, we pose the decoding problem as t...
