In this paper, a novel framework for the recovery of 3D surfaces of faces from single images is developed. The underlying principle is shape from recognition, i.e. the idea that p...
A novel framework called 2D Fisher Discriminant Analysis
(2D-FDA) is proposed to deal with the Small Sample
Size (SSS) problem in conventional One-Dimensional Linear
Discriminan...

Histograms of local appearance descriptors are a popular representation for visual recognition. They are highly discriminant with good resistance to local occlusions and to geomet...
While feature point recognition is a key component of modern approaches to object detection, existing approaches require computationally expensive patch preprocessing to handle pe...
