In this paper we propose a set of algorithms that combine the anisotropic smoothing using the heat kernel with the outlier rejection capability of robust statistics. The proposed ...
Images typically contain smooth regions, which are easily compressed by linear transforms, and high activity regions (edges, textures), which are harder to compress. To compress t...

A new concept and algorithm are presented for noniterative robust estimation of piecewise smooth curves of maximal edge strength in small image windows – typically ¢¡£ to...
—Content-based video indexing and retrieval has become an interesting research area with the tremendous growth in the amount of digital media. In addition to the audio-visual con...
We address the problem of recovering shape, albedo, and illumination from a single grayscale image of an object, using shading as our primary cue. Because this problem is fundamen...
