In this paper, a novel learning algorithm for Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) has been devised. The key issue is the achievement of a sparse model, i.e., a model in which all irreleva...
Compressive sensing aims to recover a sparse or compressible signal from a small set of projections onto random vectors; conventional solutions involve linear programming or greed...

An ideal shape model should be both invariant to global transformations and robust to local distortions. In this paper we present a new shape modeling framework that achieves both...
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 framework for shape modeling and analysis. A shape instance is described by a curvature-based shape descriptor. A Profile Hidden Markov Model (PHMM) is ...
