Recent works in object recognition often use visual words, i.e. vector quantized local descriptors extracted from the images. In this paper we present a novel method to build such ...
In several pattern recognition problems, particularly in image recognition ones, there are often a large number of features available, but the number of training samples for each p...

We show that histograms of keypoint descriptor distances can make useful features for visual recognition. Descriptor distances are often exhaustively computed between sets of keyp...
Abstract. This paper presents a novel method for human gesture recognition based on quadratic curves. Firstly, face and hands in the images are extracted by skin color and their ce...
Many face database and recognition systems have been constructed in specially designed studios with various illuminations, poses, and expressions. However, none of these databases...
