    • A Fast Approximation of the Bilateral Filter using a Signal Processing Approach 

      Paris, Sylvain; Durand, Fredo (2006-11-09)
      The bilateral filter is a nonlinear filter that smoothes a signal while preserving strong edges. It has demonstrated great effectiveness for a variety of problems in computer vision and computer graphics, and fast versions ...

    • Fast and Robust Pyramid-based Image Processing 

      Aubry, Mathieu; Paris, Sylvain; Hasinoff, Samuel W.; Kautz, Jan; Durand, Frédo (2011-11-15)
      Multi-scale manipulations are central to image editing but they are also prone to halos. Achieving artifact-free results requires sophisticated edgeaware techniques and careful parameter tuning. These shortcomings were ...

    • A Gaussian Approximation of Feature Space for Fast Image Similarity 

      Gharbi, Michael; Malisiewicz, Tomasz; Paris, Sylvain; Durand, Frédo (2012-10-01)
      We introduce a fast technique for the robust computation of image similarity. It builds on a re-interpretation of the recent exemplar-based SVM approach, where a linear SVM is trained at a query point and distance is ...

    • Interactive Visual Histories for Vector Graphics 

      Scull, Craig; Johnson, Steve; Aliaga, Frederick; Paris, Sylvain; Su, Sara L.; e.a. (2009-06-24)
      Presentation and graphics software enables users to experiment with variations of illustrations. They can revisit recent editing operations using the ubiquitous undo command, but they are limited to sequential exploration. ...

    • Practical Color-Based Motion Capture 

      Wang, Robert; Paris, Sylvain; Popovic, Jovan (2010-09-10)
      Motion capture systems have been widely used for high quality content creation and virtual reality but are rarely used in consumer applications due to their price and setup cost. In this paper, we propose a motion capture ...

    • The Video Mesh: A Data Structure for Image-based Video Editing 

      Durand, Fredo; Cohen, Michael; Chen, Jiawen; Paris, Sylvain; Wang, Jue; e.a. (2009-12-16)
      This paper introduces the video mesh, a data structure for representing video as 2.5D "paper cutouts." The video mesh allows interactive editing of moving objects and modeling of depth, which enables 3D effects and ...
