Abstract. Some recent works have addressed the object recognition problem by representing objects as the composition of independent image parts, where each part is modeled with “...
In this paper we analyse the effects that JPEG and JPEG2000 compression have on subspace appearance-based face recognition algorithms. This is the first comprehensive study of stan...
In this paper we present a technique for predicting the 2D human body joints and limbs position in monocular image sequences, and reconstructing its corresponding 3D postures using...
A method for color indexing is proposed that is based upon nonparametric statistical techniques. Nonparametrics compare the ordinal rankings of sample populations, and maintain the...
A new quasi-Newton scheme for updating a low rank positive semi-definite Hessian approximation is described, primarily for use in sequential quadratic programming methods for non...
