—This paper presents a procedure for automatic extraction and segmentation of a class-specific object (or region) by learning class-specific boundaries. We describe and evaluat...
We present an object class detection approach which fully integrates the complementary strengths offered by shape matchers. Like an object detector, it can learn class models dire...
This paper proposes an image segmentation model based on the active contour model, the Mumford-Shah functional and the image decomposition process. Generally speaking, the active ...
—Shortest paths have been used to segment object boundaries with both continuous and discrete image models. Although these techniques are well defined in 2D, the character of the...
We present an algorithm that recognizes objects of a given category using a small number of hand segmented images as references. Our method first over segments an input image into...
