Real-time Hand Pose Recognition Using Low-Resolution Depth Images
Gesture recognition methods based on intensity or color images often suffer from low efficiency and lack of robustness. In this paper, we employ a new laser-based camera that prod...

Optimal Pose for Face Recognition
Researchers in psychology have well studied the impact of the pose of a face as perceived by humans, and concluded that the so-called 3/4 view, halfway between the front view and ...

Fully Automatic Registration of 3D Point Clouds
We propose a novel technique for the registration of 3D point clouds which makes very few assumptions: we avoid any manual rough alignment or the use of landmarks, displacement ca...

Noise Estimation from a Single Image
In order to work well, many computer vision algorithms require that their parameters be adjusted according to the image noise level, making it an important quantity to estimate. W...
