Practical codes are developed for quadratic Gaussian lossy compression when side information may be absent by hybridizing successively refinable trellis coded quantization (SR-TC...
We present an automatic and efficient method to extract spatio-temporal human volumes from video, which combines top-down model-based and bottom-up appearancebased approaches. Fr...
In real world, a scene is composed by many characteristics. Intrinsic images represent these characteristics by two components, reflectance (the albedo of each point) and shading (...
We propose an unsupervised, probabilistic method for learning visual feature hierarchies. Starting from local, low-level features computed at interest point locations, the method c...
This paper presents new look-ahead schemes for backtracking search when solving constraint satisfaction problems. The look-ahead schemes compute a heuristic for value ordering and...
