This paper presents a new framework for shape modeling and analysis. A shape instance is described by a curvature-based shape descriptor. A Profile Hidden Markov Model (PHMM) is ...
Understanding hand and body gestures is a part of a wide spectrum of current research in computer vision and Human-Computer Interaction. A part of this can be the recognition of m...
We propose a novel probabilistic method based on the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) to learn the structure of a Latent Variable Model (LVM) for query language modeling. In the proposed...
In this paper, a framework that combines feature extraction, model learning, and likelihood computation, is presented for video event detection. First, the independent component a...
This paper explores the use of the homotopy method for training a semi-supervised Hidden Markov Model (HMM) used for sequence labeling. We provide a novel polynomial-time algorith...
