This work intends to deal with the optimal kinematic synthesis problem of parallel manipulators under a unified framework. Observing that regular (e.g., hyper-rectangular) workspac...
The classical approach to depth from defocus uses two
images taken with circular apertures of different sizes. We
show in this paper that the use of a circular aperture
severely...
A new approach to align an image of a textured object with a given prototype is proposed. Visual appearance of the images, after equalizing their signals, is modeled with a Markov...

We present a new contour analysis technique to detect people in thermal imagery. Background-subtraction is first used to identify local regions-of-interest. Gradient information w...
This paper describes a method for quickly and robustly localizing the iris and pupil boundaries of a human eye in close-up images. Such an algorithm can be critical for iris ident...
