Abstract. Image segmentation and figure/ground organization are fundamental steps in visual perception. This paper introduces an algorithm that couples these tasks together in a s...
We present a novel dual decomposition approach to MAP inference with highly connected discrete graphical models. Decompositions into cyclic k-fan structured subproblems are shown t...
Abstract. Planar patches are a very compact and stable intermediate representation of 3D scenes, as they are a good starting point for a complete automatic reconstruction of surfac...
We present a novel similarity measure for bag-of-words type large scale image retrieval. The similarity function is learned in an unsupervised manner, requires no extra space over ...
A face image relighting method using locally constrained global optimization is presented in this paper. Based on the empirical fact that common radiance environments are locally h...
