We propose a variational approach for estimating egomotion and structure of a static scene from a pair of images recorded by a single moving camera. In our approach the scene structure is described by a set of 3D planar surfaces, which are linked to a SLIC superpixel decomposition of the image domain. The continuously parametrized planes are determined along with the extrinsic camera parameters...

algorithms or region growing are well-known, but they are In this paper we address the problem of ultrasound volume data segtnentation by means of active contours. The segmentation is performed on an slic~by-slice basis but exploiting the high correlation that exists across nearby slices. We have used active rays to alleviake the computational load of the optimization process. Classical energy ...

Starting from the Volterra approach and assuming fading memory, a very efficient method to identify weakly non-linear systems is presented. Making special assumptions on the Volterra kernels, one ends up in the Hammerstein model, which has less complexity than the Volterra model, thus reducing the numerical effort. Using FIR filters to realize the Hammerstein model, no starting values are neces...

Nonlinear graph-based dimensionality reduction algorithms such as Laplacian Eigenmaps (LE) and Schroedinger Eigenmaps (SE) have been shown to be very effective at yielding low-dimensional representations of hyperspectral image data. However, the steps of graph construction and eigenvector computation required by LE and SE can be prohibitively costly as the number of image pixels grows. In this ...

This master’s theses addressed two research issues in order to investigate and to propose effective solutions for image retrieval on mobile devices: 1) low-cost representation for mobile image search and 2) spatial visual feature extraction. First, we have tested twenty mid-level representations of binary descriptors, ten color descriptors, five texture descriptors and two shape descriptors in ...

DT40 cells derived from chicken B lymphocytes exhibit exceptionally high homologous recombination rates. Therefore, they can be used as a convenient tool and model for gene targeting experiments. However, lack of efficient cloning strategies, protein purification protocols and a well annotated protein database limits the utility of these cells for proteomic studies. Here we describe a fast and ...

Saliency detection attracted attention of many researchers and had become a very active area of research. Recently, many saliency detection models have been proposed and achieved excellent performance in various fields. However, most of these models only consider low-level features. This paper proposes a novel saliency detection model using both color and texture features and incorporating high...
