In this paper we propose a new framework for modeling 2D shapes. A shape is first described by a sequence of local features (e.g., curvature) of the shape boundary. The resulting ...
This paper presents a new spatial-HMM(SHMM)for automatically classifying and annotating natural images. Our model is a 2D generalization of the traditional HMM in the sense that b...
This paper describes an active-camera real-time system for tracking, shape description, and classi"cation of the human face and mouth expressions using only a PC or equivalen...
In this paper, we introduce a Hybrid Hidden Markov Model (HMM) face recognition system. The proposed system contains a low-complexity 2-D HMM-based face recognition (LC 2D-HMM FR)...
The segmentation of ultrasound images is challenging due to the difficulty of appropriate modeling of their appearance variations including speckle as well as signal dropout. We ...
