We consider approaches to computervision problems which require the minimization of a global energy functional over binary variables and take into account both local similarity and spatial context. The combinatorial ...

We present a modification of the Mumford-Shah functional and its cartoon limit which allows the incorporation of statistical shape knowledge in a single energy functional. We show segmentation results on artificial and real-world images with and without prior shape information. In the case of occlusion and strongly cluttered background the shape prior significantly improves segmentation. Finally we compare our results to those obtained by a level-set implementation of geodesic active contours.

In this paper we propose a new approach to recovering epipolar geometry from a pair of uncalibrated images. We first detect the feature points. By minimizing a proposed cost function, we match the feature points, discard the outliers and recover the epipolar geometry in one step. Experiments on real images show that this approach is effective and fast.

An algorithm is presented to answer window queries in a quadtree-based spatial database environment by retrieving all of the quadtree blocks in the underlying spatial database that cover the quadtree blocks that comprise the window. It works by decomposing the window operation into sub-operations over smaller window partitions. These partitions are the quadtree blocks corresponding to the window. Although a block b in the underlying spatial database may cover several of the smaller window partitions, b is only retrieved once rather than multiple times. This is achieved by using an auxiliary main memory data structure called the active border which requires O(n) additional storage for a window query of size n × n. As a result, the algorithm generates an optimal number of disk I/O requests to answer a window query (i.e., one request per covering quadtree block). A proof of correctness and an analysis of the algorithm's execution time and space requirements are given, as are some experimental results.
We propose an extension of RBF networks which includes a mechanism for optimizing the complexity of the network. The approach involves two procedures: adaptation (training) and selection. The first procedure adaptivel...

Stereo computation is one of the vision problems where the presence of outliers cannot be neglected. Most standard algorithms make unrealistic assumptions about noise distributions, which leads to erroneous results that cannot be corrected in subsequent postprocessing stages. In this paper we present a modification of the standard area-based correlation approach so that it can tolerate a significant number of outliers. The approach exhibits a robust behavior not only in the presence of mismatches but also in the case of depth discontinuities. The confidence measure of the correlation and the number of outliers provide two complementary sources of information which, when implemented in a multiresolution framework, result in a robust and efficient method. We present the results of this approach on a number of synthetic and real images.

The basic limitations of the current appearance-based matching methods using eigenimages are non-robust estimation of coefficients and inability to cope with problems related to occlusions and segmentation. In this paper we present a new approach which successfully solves these problems. The major novelty of our approach lies in the way how the coefficients of the eigenimages are determined. Instead of computing the coefficients by a projection of the data onto the eigenimages. we extract them by a hvpothesize-and-test paradigm using subsets of image points. Competing hypotheses arc then subject to a selection procedure based on the Minimum Description Length principle. The approach enables us not only lo reject outliers and to deal with occlusions but also to simultaneously use multiple classes of eigenimages.
