Active contours (snakes) provide a unified account of a number of visual problems, including detection of edges, lines and subjective contours as well as motion tracking and stereo matching. Since their first apparition the researchers of the image process ...
We consider an anisotropic phase-field model for the isothermal solidification of a binary alloy due to Warren-Boettinger (Acta. Metall. Mater. 1995; 43(2):689)., Existence of weak solutions is established under a certain convexity condition on the strongl ...
The performance of face verification systems has steadily improved over the last few years. State-of-the-art methods use the projection of the gray-scale face image into a Linear Discriminant subspace as input of a classifier such as Support Vector Machine ...
In 1983, Burt and Adelson introduced the Laplacian pyramid (LP) as a multiresolution representation for images. We study the LP using the frame theory, and this reveals that the usual reconstruction is suboptimal. We show that the LP with orthogonal filter ...
In this paper the metric and topological paradigms are integrated in a hybrid system for both localization and map building. A global topological map connects local metric maps, allowing a compact environment model, which does not require global metric con ...
Today's video codecs employ motion compensated prediction in combination with block matching techniques. These techniques, although achieving some level of adaptivity in their latest versions, continue to rely on the decomposition of frames on a set of art ...
The invention relates to a device and a method for measuring gait parameters. It is based on autonomous sensing units for estimation of spatio-temporal parameters during walking and uses a wavelet transform to compute the values of gait parameters from the ...
Localized (13)C NMR spectra were obtained from the rat brain in vivo over a broad spectral range (15-100 ppm) with minimal chemical-shift displacement error (
This real-time augmented reality demonstration relies on our tracking algorithm described in V. Lepetit et al (2003). This algorithm considers natural feature points, and then does not require engineering of the environment. It merges the information from ...
We propose a new technique for the identification of discrete-time hybrid systems in the Piece-Wise Affine (PWA) form. This problem can be formulated as the reconstruction of a possibly discontinuous PWA map with a multi-dimensional domain. In order to ach ...
