Jitendra Malik

不用介紹了吧，太大的牛了。如果要介紹起來，可要花不少篇幅了。研究興趣：分割，知覺組織，紋理，立體視覺，識別等。他帶的26個學(xué)生都在學(xué)術(shù)和工業(yè)領(lǐng)域有重要影響力。

Paper

Shi Jianbo

又一個華人大牛！是Malik 98年的博士，論文題目是：PerceptualOrganization and Image Segmentation，做的是Normalized Cuts。N-Cuts也奠定了他在視覺學(xué)術(shù)領(lǐng)域譜聚類算法研究方面的地位。在卡耐基梅隆做過研究，現(xiàn)在是賓夕法尼亞大學(xué)A.P.。

研究興趣是：識別、分割、行為分析。現(xiàn)在做的偏向高層了。

他相信，grouping是感知的通用計算引擎，如何指導(dǎo)grouping過程來達到特定的視覺任務(wù)是他們關(guān)心的問題。

重點看http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~jshi/grouping-thoughts.html。雖然沒有特別考慮contour，但看Shi的團隊在grouping問題上根本思想是什么，并且將其思想用在contour上是很有意義的，也是可能創(chuàng)新的地方所在。

Stochastic Completion Fields學(xué)派

97年提出來后來好像沒啥發(fā)展了。。。

David W. Jacobs

92年從MIT博士畢業(yè)，師從Eric Grimson。現(xiàn)在是Maryland大學(xué)的A.P.。關(guān)注的問題是圖像中目標(biāo)的識別，知覺組織方面研究的大牛，做了很多知覺組織方面計算的和心理學(xué)方面的研究。知覺組織干的事情是，如何在識別目標(biāo)前就將目標(biāo)標(biāo)記出來。Jacobs認(rèn)為，知覺組織是識別所必須的過程，他做了研究展示二者的結(jié)合。

Shyjan Mahamud

02年從CMU博士畢業(yè)，題目是Discriminative Distance Measures for Object Detection。研究興趣是目標(biāo)識別，知覺組織，機器學(xué)習(xí)，Structure from Motion。貌似現(xiàn)在已近不在學(xué)術(shù)界了。

83年南加州大學(xué)博士畢業(yè)，現(xiàn)在是南加州大學(xué)計算機與工程學(xué)院教授，01-07年是南加州大學(xué)計算機學(xué)院的Chairman。

他是Tensor Voting方法的始祖，從95年跟他的學(xué)生Gideon Guy一起提出Tensor Voting的雛形，經(jīng)過十幾年的發(fā)展，現(xiàn)在Tensor Voting方法的數(shù)學(xué)模型已經(jīng)很成熟了，而且，Tensor Voting方法在視覺的眾多領(lǐng)域都有廣泛應(yīng)用。Tensor Voting方面已經(jīng)出了三本專著，Tensor Voting，Emerging Topics in Computer Vision，A Computational Framework for Segmentation and Grouping。

Ratio Cut學(xué)派

Song Wang

南卡羅來納大學(xué)——哥倫比亞分校(USCC)，A.P.。研究范疇包括計算機詩視覺，醫(yī)學(xué)圖像處理，機器學(xué)習(xí)。USC Computer Vision Lab的頭兒，2010年CVPR workshop POCV Chair。

Ratio-Cut是輪廓編組比較有名的一個重要算法，是Wang Song跟J. M. Siskind在01年提出的，03年發(fā)到PAMI上。我擦，Wang Song的Ratio-Cut剛剛提出來的時候也只是用于Segmentation，并沒有用于Contour Grouping。后來，往Contour Grouping上一遷移，又發(fā)了篇PAMI！

后期CG相關(guān)的文章都是跟Joachim S. Stahl一起發(fā)的，Convex Grouping，結(jié)合region和boundary信息。
