In local feature?based face recognition systems, the topographical locations of feature extractors directly affect the discriminative power of a recognizer. Better recognition acc...
This paper proposes a novel algorithm to reconstruct a 3D surface from a calibrated set of images. In a first pass, it uses Scale Invariant Features Transform (SIFT) descriptor co...
We propose to utilize micro features, namely facial marks (e.g., freckles, moles, and scars) to improve face recognition and retrieval performance. Facial marks can be used in thr...
Image stereo-rectification is the process by which two images of the same solid scene undergo homographic transforms, so that their corresponding epipolar lines coincide and becom...
In this paper, we describe methods to localize a mobile robot in an indoor environment from visual information. An appearance-based approach is adopted in which the environment is ...
