In this paper we describe a robust approach to segment text from color images. The proposed approach mainly includes four steps. Firstly, a preprocessing step is utilized to enhan...
Intonation is an important aspect of vocal production, used for a variety of communicative needs. Its modeling is therefore crucial in many speech understanding systems, particula...
In this paper we address the problem of relighting faces in presence of cast shadows and specularities. We present a solution to this problem by capturing the spatially varying Ap...
Many classification tasks benefit from integrating manifold learning and semi-supervised learning. By formulating the learning task in a semi-supervised manner, we propose a novel...
The small sample size problem is often encountered in pattern recognition. It results in the singularity of the within-class scatter matrix Sw in Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA...
