In line drawings derived from real images, lines may be missing due to contrast failure and objects with curved surfaces may cast shadows from multip...

Finding people in pictures presents a particularly difficult object recognition problem. We show how to find people by finding candidate body segment...

We study the recognition of surfaces made from different materials such as concrete, rug, marble, or leather on the basis of their textural appearanc...

This paper provides an algorithm for partitioning grayscale images into disjoint regions of coherent brightness and texture. Natural images contain b...

This paper investigates generic region-based segmentation schemes using area-minimization constraint and background modeling, and develops a computat...
