Calibrating Freely Moving Cameras
We present a novel practical method for self-calibrating a camera which may move freely in space while changing it internal parameters by zooming. We show that point correspondenc...

Pores and Ridges: Fingerprint Matching Using Level 3 Features
Fingerprint friction ridge details are generally described in a hierarchical order at three levels, namely, Level 1 (pattern), Level 2 (minutiae points) and Level 3 (pores and rid...

Learning Policies for Efficiently Identifying Objects of Many Classes
Viola and Jones (VJ) cascade classification methods have proven to be very successful in detecting objects belonging to a single class -- e.g., faces. This paper addresses the mor...

Shape Alignment by Learning a Landmark-PDM Coupled Model
This paper revisits the model-based approaches for groupwise shape alignment. The key contribution is modeling the landmarks instead of considering them as nodes sliding along the...

Identification of degraded traffic sign symbols by a generative learning method
We present a novel training method for recognizing traffic sign symbols undergoing image degradations. In order to cope with the degradations, it is desirable to use similarly deg...

Gaussian mixture pdf in one-class classification: computing and utilizing confidence values
In this study a confidence measure for probability density functions (pdfs) is presented. The measure can be used in one-class classification to select a pdf threshold for class i...
