New Appearance Models for Natural Image Matting
Image matting is the task of estimating a fore- and background layer from a single image. To solve this ill posed problem, an accurate modeling of the scene’s appearance is ne...

StaRSaC: Stable Random Sample Consensus for Parameter Estimation
We address the problem of parameter estimation in presence of both uncertainty and outlier noise. This is a common occurrence in computer vision: feature localization is perform...

Illumination and Spatially Varying Specular Reflectance from a Single View
Estimating the illumination and the reflectance properties of an object surface from a sparse set of images is an important but inherently ill-posed problem. The problem becomes...

Relighting Objects from Image Collections
We present an approach for recovering the reflectance of a static scene with known geometry from a collection of images taken under distant, unknown illumination. In con- trast ...

Color Estimation from a Single Surface Color
This paper estimates illumination colors by using only a single surface color taken under multiple illumination colors. Past researchers have found that there is a difficulty in ...

Maximizing Intra-individual Correlations for Face Recognition Across Pose Differences
The variations of pose lead to significant performance decline in face recognition systems, which is a bottleneck in face recognition. A key problem is how to measure the simila...

Physics-based Edge Evaluation for Improved Color Constancy
Edge-based color constancy makes use of image derivatives to estimate the illuminant. However, different edge types exist in real-world images such as shadow, geometry, material...

Real-Time O(1) Bilateral Filtering
We propose a new bilateral filtering algorithm with computational complexity invariant to filter kernel size, socalled O(1) or constant time in the literature. By showing that a...
