Bag-of-words (BoW) methods are a popular class of object recognition methods that use image features (e.g., SIFT) to form visual dictionaries and subsequent histogram vectors to r...
Face identification systems relying on local descriptors are increasingly used because of their perceived robustness with respect to occlusions and to global geometrical deformati...
In many vision problems, instead of having fully annotated training data, it is easier to obtain just a subset of data with annotations, because it is less restrictive for the use...
In this paper, three baseline face recognition algorithms are evaluated on the CAS-PEAL-R1 face database which is publicly released from a large-scale Chinese face database: CAS-PE...
This paper investigates a new approach for personal authentication by combining unique biometric features which can be acquired from hand images alone. The proposed method attempt...
