This chapter presents an approach for texture and object recognition that uses scale- or affine-invariant local image features in combination with a discriminative classifier. Text...
Many approaches have been proposed to locate faces in an image. There are, however, two problems in previous facial shape models using feature points. First, the dimension of the s...
Real-time estimation of a camera’s pose relative to an object is still an open problem. The difficulty stems from the need for fast and robust detection of known objects in the s...
Contemporary face recognition algorithms rely on precise
localization of keypoints (corner of eye, nose etc.). Unfortunately,
finding keypoints reliably and accurately remains
a...
Use of IR images is advantageous for many surveillance applications where the systems must operate around the clock and external illumination is not always available. We investiga...
