This paper addresses the problem of segmenting an image into regions consistent with user-supplied seeds (e.g., a sparse set of broad brush strokes). We view this task as a statis...
Without a deformation model, monocular 3D shape recovery of deformable surfaces is severly under-constrained. Even when the image information is rich enough, prior knowledge of th...
Most existing methods of semi-supervised clustering introduce supervision from outside, e.g., manually label some data samples or introduce constrains into clustering results. Thi...
The state of the art in visual object retrieval from large databases is achieved by systems that are inspired by text retrieval. A key component of these approaches is that local ...

In background subtraction, cast shadows induce silhouette distortions and object fusions hindering performance of high level algorithms in scene monitoring. We introduce a nonpara...
