—Salient areas in natural scenes are generally regarded as areas which the human eye will typically focus on, and finding these areas is the key step in object detection. In com...
When the color or gray level of a moving object is very similar to that of the background, motion-based segmentation methods fail. This leads to ambiguous templates for the moving...
An interactive framework for soft segmentation and matting of natural images and videos is presented in this paper. The proposed technique is based on the optimal, linear time, co...
We present an object recognition system that locates an object, identifies its parts, and segments out its contours. A key distinction of our approach is that we use long, salien...
In this paper we propose an algorithm to partition MPEG-4 video objects into temporal segments with uniform activity levels. These segments can be used for efficient summarization...
