Face alignment seeks to deform a face model to match it with the features of the image of a face by optimizing an appropriate cost function. We propose a new face model that is al...
IT today is driven by the trend of increasing scale and complexity. Utility and Grid computing models, PlanetLab, and traditional data centers, are reaching the scale of thousands...
There has recently been significant interest in using repions based on abstractions of Blum's skeleton into a graph, for qualitative shape matching. The application of these ...
This paper presents a geometric approach to recognizing smooth objects from their outlines. We define a signature function that associates feature vectors with objects and baseline...
