We present a taxonomy for local distance functions where most existing algorithms can be regarded as approximations of the geodesic distance defined by a metric tensor. We categor...
The fact that objects in the world appear in different ways depending on the scale of observation has important implications if one aims at describing them. It shows that the not...
The essence of the signal-to-symbol problem consists of associating a symbolic description of an object (e.g., a chair) to a signal (e.g., an image) that captures the real object....

This paper presents a unified system for segmentation and tracking of face and hands in a sign language recognition using a single camera. Unlike much related work that uses colou...
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...
