We present a novel representation for modeling textured
regions subject to smooth variations in orientation and
scale. Utilizing the steerable pyramid of Simoncelli and

For many years, object tracking in images has suffered from the problems of occlusions and illumination effects. In order to resolve occlusion problems, we have been proposing the...
Shading analysis of an object under near lighting is not an easy task, because the direction and distance of the light source vary over the surface of the object. Observing a small...
Several approaches of motion segmentation were published in the last years, but an evaluation of these different approaches is missing up to now. Here we evaluate different method...
