A new method for three dimensional (3D) genus-zero shape classification is proposed. It conformally maps a 3D mesh onto a unit sphere and uses normal vectors to generate a spheric...
Traditionally, the Universal Background Model (UBM) is viewed as the background model of the entire acoustic feature space. We propose a novel interpretation of the UBM model, and...
Latent Layout Analysis (LLA) is a novel unsupervised learning technique to discover objects in unseen images using a set of un-annotated training images. LLA defines a generative ...
Kernel Fisher Discriminant Analysis (KFDA) has achieved great success in pattern recognition recently. However, the training process of KFDA is too time consuming (even intractabl...
Although detecting text lines in machine printed documents is typically considered a solved problem, it is still a challenge to segment handwritten text lines in the general sense...
