Independent Components Analysis (ICA) maximizes the statistical independence of the representational components of a training image ensemble, but it cannot distinguish between the...
A method that combines shape-based object recognition and image segmentation is proposed for shape retrieval from images. Given a shape prior represented in a multiscale curvature...
In [1], three popular subspace face recognition methods, PCA, Bayes, and LDA were analyzed under the same framework and an unified subspace analysis was proposed. However, since t...
The aim of salient point detection is to find distinctive events in images. Salient features are generally determined from the local differential structure of images. They focus o...
Given a video sequence, obtaining accurate layer segmentation and alpha matting is very important for various applications. However, when a non-textured or smooth area is present ...
