Local appearance models in the neighborhood of salient image features, together with local and/or global geometric constraints, serve as the basis for several recent and effective...
Mean shift is an iterative mode-seeking algorithm widely used in pattern recognition and computer vision. However, its convergence is sometimes too slow to be practical. In this pa...
Gabor wavelet related feature extraction and classification is an important topic in image analysis and pattern recognition. Gabor features can be used either holistically or anal...
In this paper, we present a novel active contour model, in which the traditional gradient descent optimization is replaced by graph cut optimization. The basic idea is to first de...

Compound images contain a mixture of natural images, text, and graphics. They need special care in the use of compression because text and graphics cannot withstand the significan...
