Fingerprint matching is still a challenging problem for reliable person authentication because of the complex distortions involved in two impressions of the same finger. In this p...
Within a human motion analysis system, body parts are modeled by simple virtual 3D rigid objects. Its position and orientation parameters at frame t + 1 are estimated based on the ...
We propose measuring "visualness" of concepts with images on the Web, that is, what extent concepts have visual characteristics. This is a new application of "Web i...
Robust model fitting plays an important role in many computer vision applications. In this paper, we propose a new robust estimator — Maximum Kernel Density Estimator (MKDE) bas...
We present an approach for large-scale modeling of parametric surfaces using spherical harmonics (SHs). A standard least square fitting (LSF) method for SH expansion is not scala...
