The ability to detect a persons unconstrained hand in a natural video sequence has applications in sign language, gesture recognition and HCI. This paper presents a novel, unsuper...
Human-area segmentation is a major issue in video surveillance. Many existing methods estimate individual human areas from the foreground area obtained by background subtraction, ...
This paper describes BoostMap, a method for efficient nearest neighbor retrieval under computationally expensive distance measures. Database and query objects are embedded into a v...

: Matrix-pattern-oriented Least Squares Support Vector Classifier (MatLSSVC) can directly classify matrix patterns and has a superior classification performance than its vector ver...
In machine learning, ensemble classifiers have been introduced for more accurate pattern classification than single classifiers. We propose a new ensemble learning method that emp...
