Efficient Joint Segmentation, Occlusion Labeling, Stereo and Flow Estimation

by Koichiro Yamaguchi, David Mcallester, Raquel Urtasun
"... Abstract. In this paper we propose a slanted plane model for jointly recovering an image segmentation, a dense depth estimate as well as boundary labels (such as occlusion boundaries) from a static scene given two frames of a stereo pair captured from a moving vehicle. Towards this goal we propose a ..."

Aortic Arch Quantification using Efficient Joint Segmentation and Registration

by Andreas Biesdorf, Karl Rohr, Hendrik Von Tengg-kobligk, Stefan Wörz
"... Abstract. Accurate aortic arch quantification is important for diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. We introduce a new approach for the quantification of the aortic arch morphology with improved computational efficiency which combines 3D model-based segmentation with intensity-based i ..."

Efficient graph-based image segmentation.

by Pedro F Felzenszwalb , Daniel P Huttenlocher - International Journal of Computer Vision, , 2004
"... Abstract. This paper addresses the problem of segmenting an image into regions. We define a predicate for measuring the evidence for a boundary between two regions using a graph-based representation of the image. We then develop an efficient segmentation algorithm based on this predicate, and show ..."

The Contourlet Transform: An Efficient Directional Multiresolution Image Representation

by Minh N. Do, Martin Vetterli - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON IMAGE PROCESSING
"... The limitations of commonly used separable extensions of one-dimensional transforms, such as the Fourier and wavelet transforms, in capturing the geometry of image edges are well known. In this paper, we pursue a “true” two-dimensional transform that can capture the intrinsic geometrical structure t ..."

flexible multiresolution, local, and directional image expansion using contour segments, and thus it is named the contourlet transform. The discrete contourlet transform has a fast iterated filter bank algorithm that requires an order N operations for N-pixel images. Furthermore, we establish a precise

TextonBoost: Joint Appearance, Shape and Context Modeling for Multi-Class Object . . .

by J. Shotton, J. Winn, C. Rother, A. Criminisi - IN ECCV , 2006
"... This paper proposes a new approach to learning a discriminative model of object classes, incorporating appearance, shape and context information efficiently. The learned model is used for automatic visual recognition and semantic segmentation of photographs. Our discriminative model exploits nov ..."

novel features, based on textons, which jointly model shape and texture. Unary classification and feature selection is achieved using shared boosting to give an efficient classifier which can be applied to a large number of classes. Accurate image segmentation is achieved by incorporating

The Design and Implementation of a Log-Structured File System

by Mendel Rosenblum, John K. Ousterhout - ACM Transactions on Computer Systems , 1992
"... This paper presents a new technique for disk storage management called a log-structured file system. A logstructured file system writes all modifications to disk sequentially in a log-like structure, thereby speeding up both file writing and crash recovery. The log is the only structure on disk; it ..."

; it contains indexing information so that files can be read back from the log efficiently. In order to maintain large free areas on disk for fast writing, we divide the log into segments and use a segment cleaner to compress the live information from heavily fragmented segments. We present a series

"GrabCut” -- interactive foreground extraction using iterated graph cuts

by Carsten Rother, Vladimir Kolmogorov, Andrew Blake - ACM TRANS. GRAPH , 2004
"... The problem of efficient, interactive foreground/background segmentation in still images is of great practical importance in image editing. Classical image segmentation tools use either texture (colour) information, e.g. Magic Wand, or edge (contrast) information, e.g. Intelligent Scissors. Recently ..."

Matching words and pictures

by Kobus Barnard, Pinar Duygulu, David Forsyth, Nando De Freitas, David M. Blei, Michael I. Jordan - JOURNAL OF MACHINE LEARNING RESEARCH , 2003
"... We present a new approach for modeling multi-modal data sets, focusing on the specific case of segmented images with associated text. Learning the joint distribution of image regions and words has many applications. We consider in detail predicting words associated with whole images (auto-annotation ..."

Longitudinal data analysis using generalized linear models”.

by Kung-Yee Liang , Scott L Zeger - Biometrika, , 1986
"... SUMMARY This paper proposes an extension of generalized linear models to the analysis of longitudinal data. We introduce a class of estimating equations that give consistent estimates of the regression parameters and of their variance under mild assumptions about the time dependence. The estimating ..."
Abstract - Cited by 1526 (8 self) - Add to MetaCart
. The estimating equations are derived without specifying the joint distribution of a subject's observations yet they reduce to the score equations for multivariate Gaussian outcomes. Asymptotic theory is presented for the general class of estimators. Specific cases in which we assume independence, m

VisualSEEk: a fully automated content-based image query system

by John R. Smith, Shih-fu Chang , 1996
"... We describe a highly functional prototype system for searching by visual features in an image database. The VisualSEEk system is novel in that the user forms the queries by diagramming spatial arrangements of color regions. The system finds the images that contain the most similar arrangements of ..."

By utilizing efficient indexing techniques for color information, region sizes and absolute and relative spatial locations, a wide variety of complex joint color/spatial queries may
