The accuracy of automated face recognition systems is greatly affected by intraclass variations between enrollment and identification stages. In particular, changes in lighting con...
In order for a subspace projection based method to be robust to local distortion and partial occlusion, the basis images generated by the method should exhibit a part-based local r...
Invariant feature descriptors such as SIFT and GLOH have been demonstrated to be very robust for image matching and visual recognition. However, such descriptors are generally par...
In most of the automatic face classification applications, images should be captured in natural environments, where partial occlusions or high local changes in the illumination a...
Many successful models for scene or object recognition transform low-level descriptors (such as Gabor filter responses, or SIFT descriptors) into richer representations of interme...
