Matting refers to the problem of accurate foreground estimation in images and video. It is
one of the key techniques in many image editing and film production applications, thus has …

The objective of this work is to localize sound sources that are visible in a video without
using manual annotations. Our key technical contribution is to show that, by training the …

Image matting refers to extracting precise alpha matte from natural images, and it plays a
critical role in various downstream applications, such as image editing. Despite being an ill …

We propose a method for creating a matte-the per-pixel foreground color and alpha-of a
person by taking photos or videos in an everyday setting with a handheld camera. Most …

Humans perceive the three-dimensional structure of the world with apparent ease. However,
despite all of the recent advances in computer vision research, the dream of having a …

We propose a technique that propagates information forward through video data. The
method is conceptually simple and can be applied to tasks that require the propagation of …

Interactive digital matting, the process of extracting a foreground object from an image based
on limited user input, is an important task in image and video editing. From a computer …

The focus of motion analysis has been on estimating a flow vector for every pixel by
matching intensities. In my thesis, I will explore motion representations beyond the pixel …

The ability to interactively control viewpoint while watching a video is an exciting application
of image-based rendering. The goal of our work is to render dynamic scenes with interactive …

In this work, we propose a novel approach to video segmentation that operates in bilateral
space. We design a new energy on the vertices of a regularly sampled spatio-temporal …
