Active contours is a popular technique for image segmentation.
However, active contour tend to converge to the
closest local minimum of its energy function and often requires
a ...
One of the key factors for the success of recent energy
minimization methods is that they seek to compute global
solutions. Even for non-convex energy functionals, optimization
...

We propose a novel framework for contour based object
detection and recognition, which we formulate as a joint
contour fragment grouping and labeling problem. For a
given set of...

The biological visual system possesses the ability to compute layered surface representations, in which one surface is represented as being viewed through another. This ability is...
The goal of motion segmentation and layer extraction can be viewed as the detection and localization of occluding surfaces. A feature that has been shown to be a particularly stro...
