Kernel-based objective functions optimized using the mean shift algorithm have been demonstrated as an effective means of tracking in video sequences. The resulting algorithms com...

We present a new object segmentation method that is based on geodesic active contours with combined shape and appearance priors. It is known that using shape priors can significan...
Semantic region labeling in outdoor scenes, e.g., identifying sky, grass, foliage, water, and snow, facilitates content-based image retrieval, organization, and enhancement. A maj...

We consider 3D object retrieval in which a polygonal mesh serves as a query and similar objects are retrieved from a collection of 3D objects. Algorithms proceed first by a normal...
The chapter describes visual classification by a hierarchy of semantic fragments. In fragment-based classification, objects within a class are represented by common sub-structures ...
