We present a new algorithm to detect humans in still images utilizing covariance matrices as object descriptors. Since these descriptors do not lie on a vector space, well known m...
The calculation of local features at points of interest is a vital part of many current image retrieval and object detection systems. The wavelet-based interest point detector by ...
In this paper, we propose a new context-sensitive Bayesian learning algorithm. By modeling the distributions of data locations by a mixture of Gaussians, the new algorithm can uti...
The ability to identify speech acts reliably is desirable in any spoken language system that interacts with humans. Minimally, such a system should be capable of distinguishing be...
Melodies provide an important conceptual summarization of polyphonic audio. The extraction of melodic content has practical applications ranging from content-based audio retrieval...
