Robot navigation is an indispensable component of any mobile service robot. Many path
planning algorithms generate a path which has many sharp or angular turns. Such paths are …

We present an overview of various edge and line oriented approaches to contour detection
that have been proposed in the last two decades. By edge and line oriented we mean …

<? Pub Dtl=""?> The recently developed depth sensors, eg, the Kinect sensor, have
provided new opportunities for human-computer interaction (HCI). Although great progress …

Skeletonization provides an effective and compact representation of objects, which is useful
for object description, retrieval, manipulation, matching, registration, tracking, recognition …

In previous work on point registration, the input point sets are often represented using
Gaussian mixture models and the registration is then addressed through a probabilistic …

This paper presents a new superpixel-based hand gesture recognition system based on a
novel superpixel earth mover's distance metric, together with Kinect depth camera. The …

This paper proposes a novel graph matching algorithm and applies it to shape recognition
based on object silhouettes. The main idea is to match skeleton graphs by comparing the …

In image processing, cartoon character classification, retrieval, and synthesis are critical, so
that cartoonists can effectively and efficiently make cartoons by reusing existing cartoon …

We introduce P y RIS, an automated, process-based software for extracting extensive
meandering and anabranching river morphodynamics from multitemporal satellite imagery …

Background Image-based plant phenoty** facilitates the extraction of traits noninvasively
by analyzing large number of plants in a relatively short period of time. It has the potential to …
