• P-N Learning: Bootstrapping Binary Classifiers by Structural Constraints 

      Autor: Kalal, Zdenek; Matas, Jiří; Mikolajczyk, Krystian
      (IEEE, 2010-06)
      This paper shows that the performance of a binary classifier can be significantly improved by the processing of structured unlabeled data, i.e. data are structured if knowing the label of one example restricts the labeling ...

      Autor: Matas, Jiří; Chum, Ondřej
      (IEEE, 2005-10)
      A randomized model verification strategy for RANSAC is presented. The proposed method finds, like RANSAC, a solution that is optimal with user-controllable probability n. A provably optimal model verification strategy is ...
    • Recognition Using Labelled Objects 

      Autor: Soh, L. M.; Matas, J.; Kittler, J.
      (IEEE, 1998-08)
      General object recognition is a difficult problem. We (1997) proposed a solution for object recognition in an unconstrained environment. We simplified the recognition problem by attaching a special planar pattern on objects ...
    • Reconstructing Evolving Tree Structures in Time Lapse Sequences 

      Autor: Głowacki, Przemysław; Amável Pinheiro, Miguel; Türetken, Engin; Sznitman, Raphael; Lebrecht, Daniel; Kybic, Jan; Holtmaat, Anthony; Fua, Pascal
      (2014)
      We propose an approach to reconstructing tree structures that evolve over time in 2D images and 3D image stacks such as neuronal axons or plant branches. Instead of reconstructing structures in each image independently, ...
    • Reducing false positive responses in lung nodule detector system by asymmetric adaboost 

      Autor: Dolejší, Martin; Kybic, Jan; Tůma, Stanislav; Polovinčák, Michal
      (IEEE, 2008-05)
      We are developing a complex computer aided diagnosis (CAD) system to detect small pulmonary nodules from helical CT scans. Here we present a classifier to reduce the number of false positive responses of the primary detector. ...
    • Registration of multiple stained histological sections 

      Autor: Borovec, Jiří; Kybic, Jan; Bušta, Michal; Ortiz-de-Solórzano, Carlos; Muñoz-Barrutia, Arrate
      (IEEE, 2013)
      The analysis of protein-level multigene expression signature maps computed from the fusion of differently stained immunohistochemistry images is an emerging tool in cancer management. Creating these maps requires registering ...
    • Registration of segmented histological images using thin plate splines and belief propagation 

      Autor: Kybic, Jan
      (SPIE, 2014)
      We register images based on their multiclass segmentations, for cases when correspondence of local features cannot be established. A discrete mutual information is used as a similarity criterion. It is evaluated at a sparse ...
