An important topic in face recognition as well as in video coding or multi-modal human machine interfaces is the automatic localization of faces or headand-shoulder regions in vis...
This paper introduces a simple criterion to select the most important level lines from the numerous set obtained with a topographic map. A topographic map gives a morphological an...
We present techniques to semi-automatically discover Recurrent Visual Semantics (RVS) -the repetitive appearance of visually similar elements such as objects and scenes- in consum...

This paper presents a novel face-assisted video coding scheme to enhance the visual quality of the face regions in video telephony applications. A skin-color based face detection ...
We formulate a model for probability distributions on image spaces. We show that any distribution of images can be factored exactly into conditional distributions of feature vecto...
