Figure-ground discrimination is an important problem in computer vision. Previous work usually assumes that the color distribution of the figure can be described by a low dimensio...
Image matting is the problem of determining for each pixel in an image whether it is foreground, background, or the mixing parameter, ”alpha”, for those pixels that are a mixt...
Interactive or semi-automatic segmentation is a useful alternative to pure automatic segmentation in many applications. While automatic segmentation can be very challenging, a sma...
As tools and systems for producing and disseminating image data have improved significantly in recent years, the volume of digital images has grown rapidly. An efficient mechanism ...
In this paper, a novel and efficient automatic image categorization system is proposed. This system integrates the MIL-based and global-featurebased SVMs for categorization. The IP...
