In this paper, we propose a novel supervised hierarchical sparse coding model based on local image descriptors for classification tasks. The supervised dictionary training is perf...
We propose an illumination invariant and rotation insensitive texture representation based on a Markovian textural model. A texture is aligned with its dominant orientation and te...
This paper proposes a novel method of estimating 3-D hand posture from images observed in complex backgrounds. Conventional methods often cause mistakes by mis-matches of local ima...
Amplitude for color mixing is different from other amplitudes such as loudness. Color amplitude must refer to a light's ability to look different from other lights, to expres...
It is estimated that less than ten percent of the world’s species have been discovered and described. The main reason for the slow pace of new species description is that the sc...
