The vignette effect (radial fall-off) is commonly encountered in images obtained through certain image acquisition setups and can seriously hinder automatic analysis processes. In...
We present a novel method to enhance training set for face detection with nonlinearly generated examples from the original data. The motivation is from Support Vector Machines (SV...
This paper presents a new kernel method for appearance-based object recognition, highly robust to noise and occlusion. It consists of a fully connected Markov Random Field that in...
In this paper we study the neighbourhood of 15-variable Patterson-Wiedemann (PW) functions, i.e., the functions that differ by a small Hamming distance from the PW functions in te...
In this paper, a novel multi-scale nonlinear structure tensor based corner detection algorithm is proposed to improve effectively the classical Harris corner detector. By consideri...
