Parametric models of shape and texture such as Active Appearance Models (AAMs) are diverse tools for deformable object appearance modeling and have found important applications in...
In this paper, we introduce the Skellam distribution as a sensor noise model for CCD or CMOS cameras. This is derived from the Poisson distribution of photons that determine the s...
The problem of image deblurring in the presence of salt and pepper noise is considered. Standard image deconvolution algorithms, that are designed for Gaussian noise, do not perfor...
Histograms of local appearance descriptors are a popular representation for visual recognition. They are highly discriminant with good resistance to local occlusions and to geomet...
Model-based segmentation approaches, such as those employing Active Shape Models (ASMs), have proved to be useful for medical image segmentation and understanding. To build the mo...
