Pseudo-relevance feedback has proven effective for improving the average retrieval performance. Unfortunately, many experiments have shown that although pseudo-relevance feedback...
A major shortcoming of discriminative recognition and detection methods is their noise sensitivity, both during training and recognition. This may lead to very sensitive and britt...
This paper presents a new system for recognition, tracking and pose estimation of people in video sequences. It is based on the wavelet transform from the upper body part and uses ...
