The maximum a posteriori (MAP) criterion is broadly used in the statistical model-based voice activity detection (VAD) approaches. In the conventional MAP criterion, however, the ...
The segmentation of ultrasound images is challenging due to the difficulty of appropriate modeling of their appearance variations including speckle as well as signal dropout. We ...
This paper presents a Bayesian method for temporally aligning a music score and an audio rendition. A critical problem in audio-toscore alignment is in dealing with the wide varie...

We propose a novel statistical approach to detect defects in digitized archive film by using temporal information across a number of frames modeled with an HMM. The HMM is traine...
We consider the problem of computing the likelihood of a gesture from regular, unaided video sequences, without relying on perfect segmentation of the scene. Instead of requiring ...
