Accurate segmentation of images is one of the most important objectives in image analysis. The two conventional methods of image segmentation, region based segmentation and bounda...
Nonsmoothness pervades optimization, but the way it typically arises is highly structured. Nonsmooth behavior of an objective function is usually associated, locally, with an activ...
—In this paper, we explore a new data mining capability that involves mining path traversal patterns in a distributed information-providing environment where documents or objects...
In recent years, curve evolution, applied to a single contour or to the level sets of an image via partial differential equations, has emerged as an important tool in image process...
We present a new method for real-time rendering of objects with complex isotropic BRDFs under distant natural illumination, as specified by an environment map. Our approach is bas...
