An Efficiency Criterion for 2D Shape Model Selection.
We propose efficiency of representation as a criterion for evaluating shape models, then apply this criterion to compare the boundary curve representation with the medial axis. We...

A Practical Face Relighting Method for Directional Lighting Normalization
We propose a simplified and practical computational technique for estimating directional lighting in uncalibrated images of faces in frontal pose. We show that this inverse probl...
