Visual codebook based quantization of robust appearance descriptors extracted from local image patches is an effective means of capturing image statistics for texture analysis and...
We propose a novel representation for characterizing image differences using a deformable technique for obtaining pixel-wise correspondences. This representation, which is based o...
This paper presents a novel pattern recognition framework by capitalizing on dimensionality increasing techniques. In particular, the framework integrates Gabor image representatio...
In this work we compute the similarity of 3D faces using a set of eight contour curves. These contours were selected and matched using our 3D face matching framework. In previous ...
In natural scene, text elements are corrupted by many types of noise, such as streaks, highlights, or cracks. These effects make the clean and automatic segmentation very difficu...
