Researchers have been working on human face recognition for decades. Face recognition is hard due to different types of variations in face images, such as pose, illumination and e...
We investigate to what extent `bag of visual words' models can be used to distinguish categories which have significant visual similarity. To this end we develop and optimize...
In this paper, we propose a novel local steerable phase (LSP) feature extracted from the face image using steerable filter for face representation and recognition. Steerable filte...
This paper describes a novel hand-based verification system based on palm-finger segmentation and fusion. The proposed system operates on 2D hand images acquired by placing the ha...

Even if the class label information is unknown, side information represents some equivalence constraints between pairs of patterns, indicating whether pairs originate from the sam...
