Gesture Recognition for Visually Mediated Interaction using Probabilistic Event Trajectories
An approach to gesture recognition is presented in which gestures are modelled probabilistically as sequences of visual events. These events are matched to visual input using prob...

Progressive Probabilistic Hough Transform
In the paper we present the Progressive Probabilistic Hough Transform (PPHT). Unlike the Probabilistic Hough Transform 4] where Standard Hough Transform is performed on a pre-sele...

ORASSYLL: Object Recognition with Autonomously Learned and Sparse Symbolic Representations Based on Local Line Detectors
We introduce an object recognition system in which objects are represented as a sparse and spatially organized set of local (bent) line segments. The line segments correspond to b...

Building Shape Models from Image Sequences using Piecewise Linear Approximation
A method of extracting, classifying and modelling non-rigid shapes from an image sequence is presented. Shapes are approximated by polygons where the number of sides is related to...

Corner Detection Via Topographic Analysis of Vector Potential
This paper describes how corner detection can be realised using a new feature representation that has recently been successfully exploited for edge and symmetry detection. The fea...

Comparing Different Template Features for Recognizing People by their Gait
To recognize people by their gait from a sequence of images, we have proposed a statistical approach which combined eigenspace transformation (EST) with canonical space transforma...

The Precision of 3D Reconstruction from Uncalibrated Views
We consider reconstruction algorithms using points tracked over a sequence of (at least three) images, to estimate the positions of the cameras (motion parameters), the 3D coordin...

Automatic Face Representation and Classification
A working face recognition system requires the ability to represent facial images in such a way that permits efficient and accurate processing. The human visual system effectively...

Improved Video Mosaic Construction by Accumulated Alignment Error Distribution
Mosaic techniques have been used to obtain images with a large field of view from video sequences by assembling individual overlapping images. In existing methods of mosaic constr...

Learning to Associate Faces across Views in Vector Space of Similarities to Prototypes
We present a method for learning appearance models that can be used to recognise and track both 3D head pose and identities of novel subjects with continuous head movement across ...
