In this paper, we address the issue of extracting contour of the object with a specific shape. A hierarchical graphical model is proposed to represent shape variations. A complex ...
In this paper we propose a novel image restoration method that effectively combines a particle filter with wavelet shrinkage to achieve robust performance against inhomogeneous no...

A major challenge for face recognition algorithms lies in the variance faces undergo while changing pose. This problem is typically addressed by building view dependent models bas...
In pervasive computing, devices or peers may implement or compose services using services from other devices or peers, and may use components from various sources. A composition t...
Today’s complex production systems allow to simultaneously build different products following individual production plans. Such plans may fail due to component faults or unfores...
