We present a saliency-enhanced method for the classification of professional photos and snapshots. First, we extract the salient regions from an image by utilizing a visual salien...
We explore sparse regression for effective feature selection and classification in face identity and expression recognition. We argue that sparse regression in pixel space is inap...
We propose a new color filter array (CFA) with optimal characteristics for the acquisition of color scenes, since the luminance and chrominance information is encoded in the mosai...
Digital camera sensors are inherently sensitive to the nearinfrared (NIR) part of the light spectrum. In this paper, we propose a general design for color filter arrays that allow...
We present a new statistical shape-from-shading framework for images of unknown illumination. The object (e.g., face) to be reconstructed is described by a parametric model. To de...
