Interaction between High-Level and Low-Level Image Analysis for Semantic Video Object Extraction

Touradj Ebrahimi, Andrea Cavallaro

The task of extracting a semantic video object is split into two subproblems, namely, object segmentation and region segmentation. Object segmentation relies on a priori assumptions, whereas region segmentation is data-driven and can be solved in an automa ...

Color image enhancement using a Retinex-based adaptive filter

Sabine Süsstrunk, Laurence Meylan

We present a new adaptation of Retinex to enhance the rendering of high dynamic range digital color images. The image is processed using an adaptive Gaussian filter. The shape of the filter basis is adapted to follow the high contrasted edges of the image. ...

Cast shadow segmentation using invariant colour features

Touradj Ebrahimi, Elena Salvador

Shadows are integral parts of natural scenes and one of the elements contributing to naturalness of synthetic scenes. In many image analysis and interpretation applications, shadows interfere with fundamental tasks such as object extraction and description ...

Coevolution of active vision and feature selection

Dario Floreano, Eric Sauser, Toshifumi Kato, Davide Marocco

We show that complex visual tasks, such as position- and size-invariant shape recognition and navigation in the environment, can be tackled with simple architectures generated by a coevolutionary process of active vision and feature selection. Behavioral m ...

Wide-baseline Stereo from Multiple Views: a Probabilistic Account

Christoph Strecha

This paper describes a method for dense depth reconstruction from a small set of wide-baseline images. In a widebaseline setting an inherent difficulty which complicates the stereo-correspondence problem is self-occlusion. Also, we have to consider the pos ...

Impact of Topology Changes in Video Segmentation Evaluation

Touradj Ebrahimi, Elisa Drelie Gelasca

This work addresses the problem of studying and characterizing topology changes between resulting and reference segmentation masks in video sequences. In particular, the goal of this paper is to examine the impact of individual and combined artifacts found ...

Eigenregions for Image Classification

Sabine Süsstrunk

For certain databases and classification tasks, analyzing images based on region features instead of image features results in more accurate classifications. We introduce eigenregions, which are geometrical features that encompass area, location and shape ...

Intact figure-ground segmentation in schizophrenia

Michael Herzog

As revealed by backward masking studies, schizophrenic patients show strong impairments of early visual processing. However, the underlying temporal mechanisms are not yet well understood. To shed light on the exact timing of these deficits, we employed a ...

Effect of Segmentation Method on Video Retrieval Performance

David Grangier, Alessandro Vinciarelli

This paper presents experiments that evaluate the effect of different video segmentation methods on text-based video retrieval. Segmentations relying on modalities like speech, video and text or their combination are compared with a baseline sliding window ...

Efficient Energies and Algorithms for Parametric Snakes

Michaël Unser, Thierry Blu, Mathews Jacob

Parametric active contour models are one of the preferred approaches for image segmentation because of their computational efficiency and simplicity. However, they have a few drawbacks which limit their performance. In this paper, we identify some of these ...
