Most tracking algorithms implicitly apply a coarse segmentation of each target object using a simple mask such as a rectangle or an ellipse. Although convenient, such coarse segme...
Although the linear mean-squared error (MSE) complex-DFT estimator, i.e., the Wiener filter, is well-known, its magnitude-DFT (MDFT) counterpart has never been considered in the ...
To complement standard fitness functions, we propose "Fitness Importance" (FI) as a novel meta-heuristic for online learning systems. We define FI and show how it can be...
We address the problem of fast, large scale sketch-based image retrieval, searching in a database of over one million images. We show that current retrieval methods do not scale w...

We present a new method for rapidly computing shadows from semi-transparent objects like hair. Our deep opacity maps method extends the concept of opacity shadow maps by using a d...
