In recent times, the availability of inexpensive image capturing devices such as smartphones/tablets has led to an exponential increase in the number of images/videos captured. However, sometimes the amateur photographer is hindered by…
Tourists and Wild-life photographers are often hindered in capturing their cherished images or videos by a fence that limits accessibility to the scene of interest. The situation has been exacerbated by growing concerns of security at…
Conventional approaches to image de-fencing suffer from non-robust fence detection and are limited to processing images of static scenes. In this position paper, we propose an automatic de-fencing algorithm for images of dynamic scenes. We…
This paper describes and provides an initial solution to a novel video editing task, i.e., video de-fencing. It targets automatic restoration of the video clips that are corrupted by fence-like occlusions during capture. Our key observation…
Taking photographs ''in-the-wild'' is often hindered by fence obstructions that stand between the camera user and the scene of interest, and which are hard or impossible to avoid. De-fencing is the algorithmic process of automatically…
Conventional approaches to image de-fencing use multiple adjacent frames for segmentation of fences in the reference image and are limited to restoring images of static scenes only. In this paper, we propose a de-fencing algorithm for…
De-fencing is to eliminate the captured fence on an image or a video, providing a clear view of the scene. It has been applied for many purposes including assisting photographers and improving the performance of computer vision algorithms…
Sparse decomposition has been widely used for different applications, such as source separation, image classification, image denoising and more. This paper presents a new algorithm for segmentation of an image into background and foreground…

The segmentation of video sequences into foreground and background regions is a low-level process commonly used in video content analysis and smart surveillance applications. Using a multispectral camera setup can improve this process by…
Stereo cameras are a popular choice for obstacle avoidance for outdoor lighweight, low-cost robotics applications. However, they are unable to sense thin and reflective objects well. Currently, many algorithms are tuned to perform well on…
In this paper we address the problem of multiple camera calibration in the presence of a homogeneous scene, and without the possibility of employing calibration object based methods. The proposed solution exploits salient features present…
Multimedia Forensics allows to determine whether videos or images have been captured with the same device, and thus, eventually, by the same person. Currently, the most promising technology to achieve this task, exploits the unique traces…
Stereo images have been captured primarily for 3D reconstruction in the past. However, the depth information acquired from stereo can also be used along with saliency to highlight certain objects in a scene. This approach can be used to…
Image foreground extraction is a classical problem in image processing and vision, with a large range of applications. In this dissertation, we focus on the extraction of text and graphics in mixed-content images, and design novel…
Videos for outdoor scene often show unpleasant blur effects due to the large relative motion between the camera and the dynamic objects and large depth variations. Existing works typically focus monocular video deblurring. In this paper, we…
Sparse decomposition has been extensively used for different applications including signal compression and denoising and document analysis. In this paper, sparse decomposition is used for image segmentation. The proposed algorithm separates…
A problem deeply investigated by multimedia forensics researchers is the one of detecting which device has been used to capture a video. This enables to trace down the owner of a video sequence, which proves extremely helpful to solve…
We introduce a new approach to image forensics: placing physical refractive objects, which we call totems, into a scene so as to protect any photograph taken of that scene. Totems bend and redirect light rays, thus providing multiple,…
Localizing smartphones in indoor environments offers excellent opportunities for e-commerce. In this paper, we propose a localization technique for smartphones in indoor environments. This technique can calculate the coordinates of a…
