A very common type of a-priori knowledge in pattern analysis problems is invariance of the input data with respect to transformation groups, e.g. geometric transformations of imag...
Gesture recognition is a difficult task in computer vision due to the numerous degrees of freedom of a human hand. Fortunately, human gesture covers only a small part of the theor...

We present an algorithm that extracts curves from a set of edgels within a specific class in a decreasing order of their ``length''. The algorithm inherits the perceptual...
This paper considers a recently proposed method for unsupervised learning and dimensionality reduction, locally linear embedding (LLE). LLE computes a compact representation of hi...
