PhD Thesis

New Segmentation and Edge Detection Methods Using Physics-Based Models of Image Formation

The physics-based vision paradigm is applied to the problem of segmenting an image. Both the table of contents (80.746 bytes) and the whole dissertation (9.175.897 bytes) can be downloaded. Some artifacts appear in images due to PDF compression, feel free to contact me in case you prefer an uncompressed version (146.207.125 bytes).
