The advances in image acquisition techniques make recording images never easier and brings a great convenience to our daily life. It raises at the same time the issue of privacy p...
We present a new statistical shape-from-shading framework for images of unknown illumination. The object (e.g., face) to be reconstructed is described by a parametric model. To de...
A method for lossless compression of large binary images is proposed for applications where spatial access to the image is needed. The method utilizes the advantages of (1) variabl...
We address segmentation of an image into patches that have an underlying salient surface-roughness. Three intrinsic images are derived: reflectance, shading and metatexture images...
In this paper, we describe a region-based active contour technique to perform image segmentation. We propose an energy functional that realizes an explicit trade-off between the (...
