Creating Invariance to "Nuisance Parameters" in Face Recognition
A major goal for face recognition is to identify faces where the pose of the probe is different from the stored face. Typical feature vectors vary more with pose than with identit...

Diagram Structure Recognition by Bayesian Conditional Random Fields
Hand-drawn diagrams present a complex recognition problem. Elements of the diagram are often individually ambiguous, and require context to be interpreted. We present a recognitio...

Shock Filters Based on Implicit Cluster Separation
One of the classic problems in low level vision is image restoration. An important contribution toward this effort has been the development of shock filters by Osher and Rudin [1]...

Optimal Point Correspondence through the Use of Rank Constraints
We propose a solution to the n-frame correspondence problem under the factorization framework. During the matching process, our algorithm takes explicitly into account the geometr...
