A novel real-time edge-preserving smoothing filter
Reich, Simon; Abramov, Alexey; Papon, Jeremie; Worgotter, Florentin; Dellen, Babette (2013)
Conference report
Open AccessThe segmentation of textured and noisy areas in images is a very challenging task due to the large variety of objects and materials in natural environments, which cannot be solved by a single similarity measure. In this ... -
Action recognition based on efficient deep feature learning in the spatio-temporal domain
Husain, Syed Farzad; Dellen, Babette; Torras, Carme (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2016)
Article
Open AccessHand-crafted feature functions are usually designed based on the domain knowledge of a presumably controlled environment and often fail to generalize, as the statistics of real-world data cannot always be modeled correctly. ... -
Categorizing object-actions relations from semantic scene graphs
Aksoy, Eren Erdal; Abramov, Alexey; Wörgötter, Florentin; Dellen, Babette (2010)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn this work we introduce a novel approach for detecting spatiotemporal object-action relations, leading to both, action recognition and object categorization. Semantic scene graphs are extracted from image sequences and ... -
Channel coding for joint colour and depth segmentation
Wallenberg, Markus; Felsberg, Michael; Forssen, Per-Erik; Dellen, Babette (Springer, 2011)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policySegmentation is an important preprocessing step in many applications. Compared to colour segmentation, fusion of colour and depth greatly improves the segmentation result. Such a fusion is easy to do by stacking ... -
Combining semantic and geometric features for object class segmentation of indoor scenes
Husain, Syed Farzad; Schulz, Hannes; Dellen, Babette; Torras, Carme; Behnke, Sven (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2016)
Article
Open AccessScene understanding is a necessary prerequisite for robots acting autonomously in complex environments. Low-cost RGB-D cameras such as Microsoft Kinect enabled new methods for analyzing indoor scenes and are now ubiquitously ... -
Consistent depth video segmentation using adaptive surface models

Dellen, Babette; Clark, John W.; Wessel, Ralf (2009)
Article
Open AccessWe propose a generalized energy model of complex cells to describe modulatory contextual influences on the responses of neurons in the primary visual cortex (V1). Many orientationselective cells in V1 respond to contrast ... -

Disparity from stereo-segment silhouettes of weakly-textured images
Dellen, Babette; Wörgötter, Florentin (2009)
Conference report
Open AccessWe propose a novel robust stereo algorithm for weakly-textured scenes. Unique correspondences existing between the silhouettes of corresponding image segments allow assigning accurate disparities to segment boundary points. ... -
