We present a new algorithm for a robust family of Earth Mover's Distances-EMDs with
thresholded ground distances. The algorithm transforms the flow-network of the EMD so that …

We present a new method for rendering high dynamic range images on conventional
displays. Our method is conceptually simple, computationally efficient, robust, and easy to …

We present a new metric between histograms such as SIFT descriptors and a linear time
algorithm for its computation. It is common practice to use the L 2 metric for comparing SIFT …

We present a new histogram distance family, the Quadratic-Chi (QC). QC members are
Quadratic-Form distances with a cross-bin χ 2-like normalization. The cross-bin χ 2-like …

We present an algorithm based on statistical learning for synthesizing static and time-
varying textures matching the appearance of an input texture. Our algorithm is general and …

This paper proposes a Riemannian geometric framework to compute averages and
distributions of point configurations so that different configurations up to affine …

3-D object recognition involves using image-computable features to identify 3-D object. A
single view of a 3-D object may not contain sufficient features to recognize it unambiguously …

This paper treats the addition of simulated rain to a video sequence. In order to derive a fast
and simple algorithm for rain simulation that produces realistic results, we investigated …

Automatic photo enhancement is one of the long‐standing goals in image processing and
computational photography. While a variety of methods have been proposed for …

An on-line agglomerative clustering algorithm for nonstationary data is described. Three
issues are addressed. The first regards the temporal aspects of the data. The clustering of …
