Video Compression currently is dominated by engineering and fine-tuned heuristic methods. In this paper, we propose to instead apply the well-developed machinery of machine learni...
The visual appearance of an image is closely associated with its low-level features. Identifying the set of features that best characterizes the image is useful for tasks such as ...
We present an algorithm that extracts curves from a set of edgels within a specific class in a decreasing order of their ``length''. The algorithm inherits the perceptual...
This paper introduces a novel solver, namely cross entropy (CE), into the MRF theory for medical image segmentation. The solver, which is based on the theory of rare event simulati...
Abstract. We describe a new approach for estimating the posterior probability of tissue labels. Conventional likelihood models are combined with a curve length prior on boundaries,...
