—The Reeb graph of a scalar function represents the evolution of the topology of its level sets. This paper describes a near-optimal output-sensitive algorithm for computing the ...
In this paper we propose a novel computational method to infer visual saliency in images. The method is based on the idea that salient objects should have local characteristics tha...
Markov Random Fields (MRF's) can be used for a wide variety of vision problems. In this paper we focus on MRF's with two-valued clique potentials, which form a generaliz...
Kernel machines (e.g. SVM, KLDA) have shown state-ofthe-art performance in several visual classification tasks. The classification performance of kernel machines greatly depends o...
We present a method to learn object class models from unlabeled and unsegmented cluttered scenes for the purpose of visual object recognition. We focus on a particular type of mode...
