Where does the sparsity in image signals come from? Local and nonlocal image models have supplied complementary views toward the regularity in natural images the former attempts t...
Using a novel data dimension reduction method proposed in statistics, we develop an appearance-based face recognition algorithm which is insensitive to large variation in lighting...

Photonic mixer device (PMD) range cameras are becoming popular as an alternative to algorithmic 3D reconstruction but their main drawbacks are low-resolution (LR) and noise. Recent...

In this paper we revisit the process of constructing a high resolution 3D morphable model of face shape variation. We demonstrate how the statistical tools of thin-plate splines a...
This paper presents a new statistical model for detecting and tracking deformable objects such as pedestrians, where large shape variations induced by local shape deformation can ...
