We consider the problem of image segmentation using active contours through the minimization of an energy criterion involving both region and boundary functionals. These functiona...
Abstract. We propose a method for object category localization by partially matching edge contours to a single shape prototype of the category. Previous work in this area either re...

Illuminant estimation from shadows typically relies on accurate segmentation of the shadows and knowledge of exact 3D geometry, while shadow estimation is difficult in the presen...
—This paper proposes a novel method for matching images. The results can be used for a variety of applications: fully automatic morphing, object recognition, stereo photogrammetr...
Gait is an attractive biometric for vision-based human identification. Previous work on existing public data sets has shown that shape cues yield improved recognition rates compar...
