This paper proposes a robust video fingerprinting method based on affine covariant regions. In video fingerprinting, a video clip is identified using short feature vectors ref...
In video surveillance, the size of face images is very small. However, few works have been done to investigate scale invariant face recognition. Our experiments on appearance-base...
The performance of fingerprint matching algorithm relies heavily on the accuracy of fingerprint alignment. Falsely aligning two feature sets extracted from two finger images of a f...
The extraction of local tempo and beat information from audio recordings constitutes a challenging task, particularly for music that reveals significant tempo variations. Further...
