Recently, nonlinear shape models have been shown to improve the robustness and flexibility of segmentation. In this paper, we propose Shape Regularized Active Contour (ShRAC) that...
We present a document-specific OCR system and apply it to a corpus of faxed business letters. Unsupervised classification of the segmented character bitmaps on each page, using a ...
This paper proposes a method of generating F0 contours from natural F0 segmental shapes for speech synthesis. The extracted shapes of F0 units are basically kept unchanged, by eli...
We present a learning-based, sliding window-style approach for the problem of detecting humans in still images. Instead of traditional concatenation-style image location-based feat...
A novel approach is proposed to estimate the parameters of a diffeomorphism that aligns two binary images. Classical approaches usually define a cost function based on a similarit...
