Selecting Models from Videos for Appearance-Based Face Recognition
In this paper, we propose an unsupervised approach to select representative face samples (models) from raw videos and build an appearance-based face recognition system. The approa...

Adjustable Invariant Features by Partial Haar-Integration
A very common type of a-priori knowledge in pattern analysis problems is invariance of the input data with respect to transformation groups, e.g. geometric transformations of imag...
