Due to the structural heterogeneity of XML, queries are often interpreted approximately. This is achieved by relaxing the query and ranking the results based on their relevance to ...
Active contours are adapted to image segmentation by energy minimization. The energies often exhibit local minima, requiring regularization. Such an a priori can be expressed as a...

We present an approach to estimate the poses of human heads in natural scenes. The essential features for estimating the head pose are the positions of the prominent facial featur...
