This paper presents a unified framework for object detection,
segmentation, and classification using regions. Region
features are appealing in this context because: (1) they enco...

This paper presents an improvement of the classical Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) approach, for dealing with local representations of image objects. NMF, when applied to...
Most pose robust face verification algorithms, which employ 2D appearance, rely heavily on statistics gathered from offline databases containing ample facial appearance variation ...
This paper describes a novel hand-based verification system based on palm-finger segmentation and fusion. The proposed system operates on 2D hand images acquired by placing the ha...
