Getting trapped in suboptimal local minima is a perennial problem in model based vision, especially in applications like monocular human body tracking where complex nonlinear para...
Background: Microarray technology produces gene expression data on a genomic scale for an endless variety of organisms and conditions. However, this vast amount of information nee...
Manifold bootstrapping is a new method for data-driven modeling of real-world, spatially-varying reflectance, based on the idea that reflectance over a given material sample forms...

This paper presents a purely image-based approach to fusing foreground silhouette information from multiple arbitrary views. Our approach does not require 3D constructs like camer...
Detecting objects in complex scenes while recovering the scene layout is a critical functionality in many vision-based applications. Inspired by the work of [18], we advocate the ...
