Invariant features or operators are often used to shield the recognition process from the effect of "nuisance" parameters, such as rotations, foreshortening, or illumina...
Most recent class-level object recognition systems work with visual words, i.e., vector quantized local descriptors. In this paper we examine the feasibility of a dataindependent ...
Generalized Belief Propagation (gbp) has proven to be a promising technique for performing inference on Markov random fields (mrfs). However, its heavy computational cost and large...
Lips segmentation is a very important step in many applications such as automatic speech reading, MPEG-4 compression, special effects, facial analysis and emotion recognition. In ...
