This paper presents a novel method of visual saliency detection. The use of saliency promises benefits to multimedia applications. However, up to now just few reasonable applicat...
Many modern visual recognition algorithms incorporate a step of spatial `pooling', where the outputs of several nearby feature detectors are combined into a local or global `...
We describe a technique for using the joint occurrence of local features at multiple resolutions to measure the similarity between texture images. Though superficially similar to ...
This paper proposes a state based approach to gesture learning and recognition. Using spatial clustering and temporal alignment, each gesture is defined to be an ordered sequence ...
The objective of this work is to recognize all the frontal faces of a character in the closed world of a movie or situation comedy, given a small number of query faces. This is ch...
