Learning low-level vision
- International Journal of Computer Vision
, 2000
"... We show a learning-based method for low-level vision problems. We set-up a Markov network of patches of the image and the underlying scene. A factorization approximation allows us to easily learn the parameters of the Markov network from synthetic examples of image/scene pairs, and to e ciently prop ..."

propagate image information. Monte Carlo simulations justify this approximation. We apply this to the \super-resolution " problem (estimating high frequency details from a low-resolution image), showing good results. For the motion estimation problem, we show resolution of the aperture problem
SIMPLIcity: Semantics-Sensitive Integrated Matching for Picture LIbraries
- IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence
, 2001
"... The need for efficient content-based image retrieval has increased tremendously in many application areas such as biomedicine, military, commerce, education, and Web image classification and searching. We present here SIMPLIcity (Semanticssensitive Integrated Matching for Picture LIbraries), an imag ..."

, which are characterized by color, texture, shape, and location. The system classifies images into semantic categories, such as textured-nontextured, graphphotograph. Potentially, the categorization enhances retrieval by permitting semantically-adaptive searching methods and narrowing down the searching
Shape modeling with front propagation: A level set approach
- IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON PATTERN ANALYSIS AND MACHINE INTELLIGENCE
, 1995
"... Shape modeling is an important constituent of computer vision as well as computer graphics research. Shape models aid the tasks of object representation and recognition. This paper presents a new approach to shape modeling which retains some of the attractive features of existing methods and over- ..."

Our techniques can be applied to model arbitrarily complex shapes, which include shapes with significant protrusions, and to situations where no a priori assumption about the object’s topology is made. A single instance of our model, when presented with an image having more
Experimental Results Narrow Aperture Wide Aperture Our Result
"... We present a method to remove partial occlusion blur arising from thin occluders. When severely defocused, such foreground objects reduce the visibility of background content. In order to remove the contribution of the foreground in such regions, we characterize the position and size of the occluder ..."

of the occluder in a narrow aperture image. In subsequent images with wider apertures, we use this characterization to remove the contribution of the foreground, thereby clarifying the background. Imaging Model As in image matting, we model the average radiance R incident at pixel p as: R(p) = α(p)R f (p) + (1
Image and depth from a conventional camera with a coded aperture
- ACM TRANS. GRAPH
, 2007
"... A conventional camera captures blurred versions of scene information away from the plane of focus. Camera systems have been proposed that allow for recording all-focus images, or for extracting depth, but to record both simultaneously has required more extensive hardware and reduced spatial resolut ..."

Using a statistical model of images, we can recover both depth information and an all-focus image from single
Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry
- PROCEEDINGS OF THE IEEE
, 2000
"... Synthetic aperture radar interferometry is an imaging technique for measuring the topography of a surface, its changes over time, and other changes in the detailed characteristics of the surface. By exploiting the phase of the coherent radar signal, interferometry has transformed radar remote sensin ..."

Graph Cuts and Efficient N-D Image Segmentation

"... Combinatorial graph cut algorithms have been successfully applied to a wide range of problems in vision and graphics. This paper focusses on possibly the simplest application of graph-cuts: segmentation of objects in image data. Despite its simplicity, this application epitomizes the best features ..."

"... grayscale value of the two images are the location x = [x y] T, where x and y are the two pixel coordinates of a generic image point x. The image I will sometimes be referenced as the first image, and the image J as the second image. For practical issues, the images I and J are discret function (or ..."

the location v = u + d = [ux + dx uy + dy] T on the second image J such as I(u) and J(v) are “similar”. The vector d = [dx dy] T is the image velocity at x, also known as the optical flow at x. Because of the aperture problem, it is essential to define the notion of similarity in a 2D neighborhood sense. Let
