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...
We show that a simple, memory-based technique for appearance-based face recognition, motivated by the realworld task of visitor identification, can outperform more sophisticated a...

In this paper, we present the logarithmic total variation (LTV) model for face recognition under varying illumination, including natural lighting conditions, where we rarely know t...
