Search by Object Model -- finding an object inside a target image -- is a desirable and yet difficult mechanism for querying multimedia data. An added difficulty is that objects c...
This paper presents new fixed-rate texture compression systems for RGB and RGBA images, which use variable precision differential encoding for the color codewords, resulting in re...
Recently graph-cut optimization has been extensively explored for interactive image segmentation. In this paper we propose Discriminative Gaussian Mixtures (DGMs) to boost the per...
In this paper, a system for automatic albuming of consumer photographs is described, and its specific core components of event segmentation and screening of low quality images are...
Small mobile robots typically have little on-board processing power for time-consuming vision algorithms. Here we show how they can quickly extract very dense yet highly useful inf...
