The Image Foresting Transform: Recent Advances and Perspectives.

The most recent talk about the IFT with pointers to the key works in the past 10 years and applications involving object tracking, image segmentation (interative and automatic --- segmentation based on cloud bank model) and patter recognition systems in biometry, remote sensing, and biomedical data analysis. This lecture was presented at the 16th International Conference on Digital Signal Processing in 2009. The following videos were presented during the talk.

The Image Foresting Transform from the Image Domain to the Feature Space.

This lecture reviews previous works on the IFT and presents its extension from the image domain to the feature space, where optimum-path forest classifiers can be projected. This talk was presented at the 8th International Symposium on Mathematical Morphology in 2007, at ESIEE in 2008 and at the University of Minnesota in 2008.

Image Foresting Transform: A Graph-Based Approach to Image Processing.

First lecture that introduces the Image Foresting Transform (IFT) and presents its use in the design of image processing operators. This talk was presented at the University of Iowa and University of Pennsylvania in 2004.
