In this paper, we present a speaker identification algorithm for a microphone array based on a first-order joint Hidden Markov Model (HMM) where the observations correspond to t...
Automatic image annotation is a promising solution to enable semantic image retrieval via keywords. In this paper, we propose a multi-level approach to annotate the semantics of n...
Mark-recapture models have for many years been used to estimate the unknown sizes of animal and bird populations. In this article we adapt a finite mixture mark-recapture model i...
In this work we propose a hierarchical approach for labeling semantic objects and regions in scenes. Our approach is reminiscent of early vision literature in that we use a decompo...
Foregrounds extracted from the background, which are intended to be used as photorealistic avatars for simulators in a variety of virtual worlds, should satisfy the following four ...
