Fitting of the chin is an essential part of facial model fitting systems. Many previous approaches to chin fitting have used active contour models or snakes. However, achieving su...
This paper presents a probabilistic algorithm for segmenting and recognizing text embedded in video sequences. The algorithm approximates the posterior distribution of segmentatio...
In this paper we evaluate the effectiveness of two likelihood normalization techniques, the Background Model Set (BMS) and the Universal Background Model (UBM), for improving perf...
In this paper, an efficient video content representation is proposed using optimal extraction of characteristic frames and scenes. This representation, apart from providing browsi...
