Graph cuts have emerged as an important combinatorial optimization tool for many problems in vision. Most of the computer vision problems are discrete labeling problems. For example, in stereopsis, labels represent disparity ...

Dissimilarity plays a very important role in object recognition. But, finding perceptual dissimilarity between objects is non-trivial as it is not equivalent to the pixel dissimilarity between the objects (For example, two ...

With multiprocessors and multicore processors becoming ubiquitous, focus has shifted from research on uniprocessors to that on multiprocessors. Results derived for the uniprocessor case unfortunately do not always directly ...
