A method is presented for automatically extracting key frames from an image sequence. The sequence is divided into clusters of frames with similar appearance, and the most central...
A shape feature by itself is not sufficient for effective 3D model retrieval. Long-lasting semantics shared by a community as well as a short-lived intention of a user determines ...
We consider the problem of learning a mapping function from low-level feature space to high-level semantic space. Under the assumption that the data lie on a submanifold embedded ...
Face recognition with partial face images is an important problem in face biometrics. The necessity can arise in not so constrained environments such as in surveillance video, or p...
Distance metric is widely used in similarity estimation. In this paper we find that the most popular Euclidean and Manhattan distance may not be suitable for all data distribution...
