This paper addresses whether the stackless traversal approaches are useful on newer hardware and technology (such as CUDA).

A simple method for detecting salient regions

Paul Rosin

Nov. 1, 2009

A simple method for detecting salient regions in images is proposed. It requires only edge detection, threshold decomposition, the distance transform, and thresholding.

Facial cues of dominance modulate the short-term gaze-cuing effect in human observers

Bernie Tiddeman

Responding appropriately to gaze cues is essential for fluent social interaction, playing a crucial role in social learning, collaboration, threat assessment and understanding others' intentions.

A Shape-Preserving Approach to Image Resizing

Ralph Martin

Oct. 1, 2009

We present a novel image resizing method which attempts to ensure that important local regions undergo a geometric similarity transformation, and at the same time, to preserve image edge structure.

Free Form Shape Registration Using the Barrier Method

Ralph Martin

Sept. 1, 2009

We present an implicit approach for pair-wise non-rigid registration of moving and deforming objects. Shapes of interest are implicitly embedded in the 3D implicit vector space.
