We present a novel, purely affinity-based natural image matting algorithm. Our method relies on carefully defined pixel-to-pixel connections that enable effective use of information available in the image and the trimap. We control the information flow from the known-opacity regions into the unknown region, as well as within the unknown region itself, by utilizing multiple definitions of pixel affinities...
Most of the mobile applications require efficient and precise computation of the device pose, and almost every mobile device has inertial sensors already equipped together with a camera. This fact makes sensor fusion quite attractive for increasing efficiency during pose tracking. However, the state-of-the-art fusion algorithms have a major shortcoming: lack of well-defined uncertainty introduced...
Free viewpoint video enables interactive viewpoint selection in real world scenes, which is attractive for many applications such as sports visualization. Multi-camera registration is one of the difficult tasks in such systems. We introduce the concept of a static high resolution master camera for improved long-term multiview alignment. All broadcast cameras are aligned to a common reference. Our...
We evaluated the impact of transrectal prostate needle biopsy (TPNB) on erectile function and on the prostate and bilateral neurovascular bundles using power Doppler ultrasonography imaging of the prostate. The study consisted of 42 patients who had undergone TPNB. Erectile function was evaluated prior to the biopsy, and in the 3rd month after the biopsy using the first five-item version of the International...
We propose a complete still image based 2D-3D mobile conversion system for touch screen use. The system consists of interactive segmentation followed by 3D rendering. The interactive segmentation is conducted dynamically by color Gaussian mixture model updates and dynamic-iterative graph-cut. A coloring gesture is used to guide the way and entertain the user during the process. Output of the image...
