With the aim to design a general learning framework for detecting faces of various poses or under different lighting conditions, we are motivated to formulate the task as a classi...
Local search is a specialization of the web search that allows users to submit geographically constrained queries. However, one of the challenges for local search engines is to un...
Boosting has established itself as a successful technique for decreasing the generalization error of classification learners by basing predictions on ensembles of hypotheses. Whil...
It is well known that how to extract dynamical features is a key issue for video based face analysis. In this paper, we present a novel approach of facial action units (AU) and ex...
Tree-structured models have been widely used for human pose estimation, in either 2D or 3D. While such models allow efficient learning and inference, they fail to capture additiona...
