We describe the use of compact support radial basis functions (CSRBFs) for simulation of soft tissue deformation. CSRBFs allow surface and volumetric deformations to be computed i...

This paper presents a spatiotemporal pyramid representation for recognizing facial expressions and hand gestures. This approach works by partitioning video sequence into increasin...
This paper describes a new versatile algorithm for correcting nonlinear distortions, such as curvature of book pages, in camera based document processing. We introduce the idea of...
Abstract. The concept of Ensemble Learning has been shown to increase predictive power over single base learners. Given the bias-variancecovariance decomposition, diversity is char...
We investigate a new, convex relaxation of an expectation-maximization (EM) variant that approximates a standard objective while eliminating local minima. First, a cautionary resu...
