Existing shape-from-shading algorithms assume constant reflectance across the shaded surface. Multi-colored surfaces are excluded because both shading and reflectance affect the me...
A novel kernel discriminant transformation (KDT) algorithm based on the concept of canonical differences is presented for automatic face recognition applications. For each individu...

Shading analysis of an object under near lighting is not an easy task, because the direction and distance of the light source vary over the surface of the object. Observing a small...
Abstract. Most existing feature-point matching algorithms rely on photometric region descriptors to distinct and match feature points in two images. In this paper, we propose an e...

Hand biometrics, including fingerprint, palmprint, hand geometry and hand vein pattern, have obtained extensive attention in recent years. Physiologically, skin is a complex multi...
