Many object classes, including human faces, can be modeled as a set of characteristic parts arranged in a variable spatial con guration. We introduce a simpli ed model of a deforma...
This paper presents a novel statistical shape model that can be used to detect and localise feature points of a class of objects in images. The shape model is inspired from the 3D...
Abstract The use of traditional moment invariants in object recognition is limited to simple geometric transforms, such as rotation, scaling and affine transformation of the image...
We introduce a new class of distinguished regions based on detecting the most salient convex local arrangements of contours in the image. The regions are used in a similar way to ...
In previous work 6, 9, 10], we advanced a new technique for direct visual matching of images for the purposes of face recognition and image retrieval, using a probabilistic measur...
