Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) is a popular face recognition technique. However, an inherent problem with this technique stems from the parametric nature of the scatter matrix...
This paper presents a system that detects humans climbing fences. After extracting a binary blob contour, the system models the human with an extended star-skeleton representation...
The detection of abrupt shot changes ("cuts") in videos is a basic step in video content analysis. Many cut detection algorithms based on histogram differences have been...
Markov Random Fields (MRFs) are proposed as viable stochastic models for the spatial distribution of gray level intensities for images of human faces. These models are trained usi...
We investigate further improvement of boosting in the case that the target concept belongs to the class of r-of-k threshold Boolean functions, which answer “+1” if at least r o...
