Image compositing is widely used to combine visual elements from separate source images into a single image. Although recent image compositing techniques are capable of achieving smooth blending of the visual elements from different sources, most of them implicitly assume the source images are taken in the same viewpoint. In this paper, we present an approach to compositing novel image objects from multiple source images which have different viewpoints. Our key idea is to construct 3D proxies for meaningful components of the source image objects, and use these 3D component proxies to warp and seamlessly merge components together in the same viewpoint. To realize this idea, we introduce a coordinate- frame based single-view camera calibration algorithm to handle general types of image objects, a structure-aware cuboid optimization algorithm to get the cuboid proxies for image object components with correct structure relationship, and finally a 3D-proxy transformation guided image warping algorithm to stitch object components. We further describe a novel application based on this compositing approach to automatically synthesize a large number of image objects from a set of exemplars. Experimental results show that our compositing approach can be applied to a variety of image objects, such as chairs, cups, lamps, and robots, and the synthesis application can create novel image objects with significant shape and style variations from a small set of exemplars.

Co-occurrence matrices are a popular representation for the texture in images. They contain a count of the number of times that a given feature (e.g., a given gray level) occurs in a particular spatial relation to another given feature. However, because of the large number of spatial relations that are possible within an image, heuristic or interactive techniques have usually been employed to select the relation to use for each problem. In this paper we present a statistical approach to finding those spatial (or other) relations that best capture the structure of textures when the co-occurrence matrix representation is used. These matrices should thus be well suited for discriminations that are structurally based.

An automated system for detecting Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI), an inheritable disorder of human connective tissue, is described. The approach is one of texture analysis, founded on standard statistical recognition of co-occurrence-based texture descriptors. Our contribution is to show that texture descriptors derived from gray-level co-occurrence matrices can be used in conjunction with descriptors derived from generalized co-occurrence matrices of local image features to increase performance. In fact, for the OI problem, our system demonstrates a level of performance which is significantly better than that of medical specialists.

This paper proposes a new combined cellular automaton (CA) model considering the driver behavior of stochastic acceleration and delay with the velocity of the preceding vehicle and the gap between the successive vehicles based on the WWH model and the noise-first NaSch model. It introduces the delay probability varying with the gap, adds the anticipation headway and increases the acceleration with a certain probability. Through these simulations, not only can the metastable state and start-stop wave be obtained but also the synchronized flow which the wide moving jam results in. Moreover, the effect of stochastic acceleration and delay on traffic flow is discussed by analyzing the correlation of traffic data. This indicates that synchronized flow easily emerges in the critical area between free flow and synchronized flow when acceleration and delay are synchronized or their probability is close to 0.5.

This paper presents a model of motion suitable for cell tracking. It includes a representation for cell dynamics enabling it to maintain a correspondence between successive images of cells undergoing morphological changes. This model is based on a minimization problem whose computational solution is similar in form to a Newton-Rhapson iteration. The model is supported by experimental results from an actual tracking problem.

Relaxation labeling processes are a class of iterative algorithms for using contextual information to reduce local ambiguities. This paper introduces a new perspective toward relaxation-that of considering it as a process for reordering labels attached to nodes in a graph. This new perspective is used to establish the formal equivalence between relaxation and another widely used algorithm, local maxima selection. The equivalence specifies conditions under which a family of cooperative relaxation algorithms, which generalize the well-known ones, decompose into purely local ones. Since these conditions are also sufficient for guaranteeing the convergence of relaxation processes, they serve as stopping criteria. We feel that equivalences such as these are necessary for the proper application of relaxation and maxima selection in complex speech and vision understanding systems.
The fields of Wearable Computing, Augmented Reality and Ubiquitous Computing are in principle highly convergent, as they all promise a utopian future in which the devices embedded in the environment, our bodies and ou...

There are two different sources of information in relaxation labeling processes: the initial certainty factors of the labels and the compatibility coefficients. In this paper we examine two ways in which the compatibility coefficients influence the fixed point achieved: (1) we demonstrate how the coefficients can bias the process toward the instantiation of a subset of the labels, and (2) we show how the coefficients precisely define the set of possible fixed points. We also indicate how eigenanalysis of the derivative of a relaxation labeling process at a fixed point can be used to study the stability of the fixed point. Finally, we present an empirical comparison of two statistical interpretations of the compatibility coefficients.
