Local features or image patches have become a standard tool in computer vision, with numerous application domains. Roughly speaking, two different types of patchbased image repres...
We present a new, block-based image codec based on sparse representations using a learned, structured dictionary called the IterationTuned and Aligned Dictionary (ITAD). The quest...
The boundaries of image regions necessarily consist of edges (in particular, step and roof edges), corners, and junctions. Currently, different algorithms are used to detect each ...
As a problem of high practical appeal but outstanding challenges, computer-based face recognition remains a topic of extensive research attention. In this paper we are specificall...
Existing algorithms for surface reconstruction from point sets are defeated by moderate amounts of noise and outliers, which makes them unapplicable to point clouds originating fr...
