Abstract— Perceiving human faces is one of the most important functions for human robot interaction. The active appearance model (AAM) is a statistical approach that models the s...
Linear and multi-linear models of object shape/appearance (PCA, 3DMM, AAM/ASM, multilinear tensors) have been very popular in computer vision. In this paper, we analyze the validi...
We present an object recognition system that locates an object, identifies its parts, and segments out its contours. A key distinction of our approach is that we use long, salien...
See www.research.microsoft.com/jojic/epitome.htm for videos, comparisons and applications. We present novel simple appearance and shape models that we call epitomes. The epitome o...
Recent studies on visual tracking have shown significant improvement in accuracy by handling the appearance variations of the target object. Whereas most studies present schemes ...
