Abstract. In this paper we take a fresh look at the problem of extracting shape from contours of human faces. We focus on two key questions: how can we robustly fit a 3D face mode...
Statistical shape-and-texture appearance models employ image metamorphosis to form a rich, compact representation of object appearance. They achieve their efficiency by decomposin...
In this paper we present a symmetry-based approach which can be used to detect humans and to extract biometric characteristics from video image-sequences. The method employs a simp...
Abstract. Active Shape Models are commonly used to recognize and locate different aspects of known rigid objects. However, they require an off-line learning stage, such that the ex...

Many unsupervised learning algorithms make use of kernels that rely on the Euclidean distance between two samples. However, the Euclidean distance is optimal for Gaussian distribut...
