Graph cut algorithms (i.e., min s-t cuts) [3][10][15] are useful in many computer vision applications. In this paper we develop a formulation that allows the addition of side cons...
A method is presented for automatically extracting key frames from an image sequence. The sequence is divided into clusters of frames with similar appearance, and the most central...
Human visual recognition is based largely on shape, yet effectively using shapes in natural image retrieval is a challenging task. Most existing methods are based on the geometric...
We propose a ray-based segmentation method for color images. A segment is represented by a centroid and evenlydistributed rays shooting out from it. First, a bottom-up low-level b...
Abstract--A feature-guided image interpolation scheme is presented. It is an effective and improved, shape-based interpolation method used for interpolating image slices in medical...
