Common visual codebook generation methods used in
a Bag of Visual words model, e.g. k-means or Gaussian
Mixture Model, use the Euclidean distance to cluster features
into visual...
Deformable model fitting has been actively pursued in the computer vision
community for over a decade. As a result, numerous approaches have
been proposed with varying degrees of...
Recognising face with large pose variation is more challenging than that in a fixed view, e.g. frontal-view, due to the severe non-linearity caused by rotation in depth, selfshadi...
Independent Components Analysis (ICA) maximizes the statistical independence of the representational components of a training image ensemble, but it cannot distinguish between the...
We propose an algorithm for accurate tracking of (articulated) objects using online update of appearance and shape. The challenge here is to model foreground appearance with histo...
