Dr. Lu Cewu is the faculty of our department and the
co-first author of this paper. Since all SIGGRAPH papers are published in ACM
trans. on Graphic (IF = 4.09), this paper is also the recent 5 years most cited
paper in this journal. This paper proposes a new L0-norm minimization based
image principal structure extractor (See Figure 1). It is widely used in many
applications, such as crowd analysis (see Figure 2) and saliency detection (See
Figure 3).
