Traditionally, object recognition is performed based solely on the appearance of the object. However, relevant information also exists in the scene surrounding the object. As supp...
Efficient global optimization techniques such as graph cut exist for energies corresponding to binary image segmentation from lowlevel cues. However, introducing a high-level prior...
Background estimation, i.e. automatic recovery of the background image from a sequence of images containing moving foreground objects, is an important module in many applications,...
A novel video retrieval tool based on MPEG-4 video object (VO) representation is presented. The algorithm extends the concept of edge potential functions (EPF), already used in sha...
