    摘要: An interactive photo annotation method uses clustering based on facial similarities to improve annotation experience. The method uses a face recognition algorithm to extract facial features of a photo album and cluster the photos into multiple face groups based on facial similarity. The method annotates a face group collectively using annotations, such as name identifiers, in one operation. The method further allows merging and splitting of face groups. Special graphical user interfaces, such as displays in a group view area and a thumbnail area and drag-and-drop features, are used to further improve the annotation experience.

    摘要: Systems and methods are described for learning visual object cutout from a single example. In one implementation, an exemplary system determines the color context near each block in a model image to create an appearance model. The system also learns color sequences that occur across visual edges in the model image to create an edge profile model. The exemplary system then infers segmentation boundaries in unknown images based on the appearance model and edge profile model. In one implementation, the exemplary system minimizes the energy in a graph-cut model where the appearance model is used for data energy and the edge profile is used to modulate edges. The system is not limited to images with nearly identical foregrounds or backgrounds. Some variations in scale, rotation, and viewpoint are allowed.

    摘要: A Bayesian competitive model integrated with a generative classifier for unspecific person verification is described. In one aspect, a competitive measure for verification of an unspecific person is calculated using a discriminative classifier. The discriminative classifier is based on a Bayesian competitive model that is adaptable to unknown new classes. The Bayesian competitive model is integrated with a generative verification in view of a set of confidence criteria to make a decision regarding verification of the unspecific person.

    摘要: The handling of occlusions in stereo imaging is disclosed. In one implementation, an association between a discontinuity in one stereo image and an occlusion in a second stereo image is utilized. In such an implementation, the first and second stereo images are segmented. A mapping of a discontinuity within the second stereo image is used to form at least part of a boundary of an occlusion in the first stereo image. The mapped discontinuity is found at a boundary between two segments in the second stereo image, and once mapped, divides a segment in the first stereo image into two patches. An energy calculation is made in an iterative manner, alternating with changes to a solution with the disparities and occlusions of the patches. Upon minimization, disparities and occlusions at the patch and pixel level are available.

    摘要: Systems and methods of segmenting images are disclosed herein. The similarity of images in a set of images is compared. A group of images is selected from the set of images. The images in the group of images are selected based on compared similarities among the images. An informative image is selected from the group of images. User-defined semantic information of the informative image is received. The group of images as a graph is modeled as a graph. Each image in the group of images denotes a node in the graph. Edges of the graph denote a foreground relationship between images or a background relationship between images. One or more images in the group of images are automatically segmented by propagating the semantic information of the informative image to images in the group of images having a corresponding graph node that is related to a graph node corresponding to the informative image. Segmentation results can be refined according to user provided image semantics.

    摘要: A search includes comparing a query image provided by a user to a plurality of stored images of faces stored in a stored image database, and determining a similarity of the query image to the plurality of stored images. One or more resultant images of faces, selected from among the stored images, are displayed to the user based on the determined similarity of the stored images to the query image provided by the user. The resultant images are displayed based at least in part on one or more facial features.

The importance weighted gradients are measured using respective salience maps for each channel in the multi-channel images.
