Bottom-up segmentation based only on low-level cues is a notoriously difficult problem. This difficulty has lead to recent top-down segmentation algorithms that are based on class-...
We present a dynamic near-regular texture (NRT) tracking algorithm nested in a lattice-based Markov-Random-Field (MRF) model of a 3D spatiotemporal space. One basic observation use...
Abstract. There has been growing interest in developing nonlinear dimensionality reduction algorithms for vision applications. Although progress has been made in recent years, conv...
Abstract. This paper addresses the problem of how to learn an appropriate feature representation from video to benefit video-based face recognition. By simultaneously exploiting th...
Abstract. We formulate a robust method using Expectation Maximization (EM) to address the problem of dense photometric stereo. Previous approaches using Markov Random Fields (MRF) ...
