We relax the long-held and problematic assumption in shape-from-shading (SFS) that albedo must be uniform or known, and address the problem of “shape and albedo from shading” ...
In this work a Gaussian Hidden Markov Model (GHMM) based automatic sign language recognition system is built on the SIGNUM database. The system is trained on appearance-based feat...
In the context of shape and image modeling by manifold learning, we focus on the problem of denoising. A set of shapes or images being known through given samples, we capture its s...
Abstract. Image segmentation techniques typically require proper weighting of competing data fidelity and regularization terms. Conventionally, the associated parameters are set t...
Non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) is an excellent tool for unsupervised parts-based learning, but proves to be ineffective when parts of a whole follow a specific pattern. ...
