The Symmetry Set (??) and its subset the Medial Axis (? ), can be used to describe a shape. The representation of the ?? in parameter space is called the pre-Symmetry Set. Changes...
This paper describes the training of classifiers entirely based on virtual images, rendered by a ray-tracing software. Two classifiers, a support vector machine and a polynomial c...
There are more and more applications of nonphotorealistic rendered images, sketches and drawings. Several techniques for generating such imagery are widely known. The stochastic p...
Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) addresses the problem of finding images relevant to the users' information needs, based principally on low-level visual features for whic...
The capability of maintaining the pose of the mobile robot is central for basic navigation and map building tasks. In this paper we describe a vision-based hybrid localization sch...
There is increasing interest in the development of reliable, rapid and non-intrusive security control systems. Among the many approaches, biometrics such as palmprints provide hig...
The research described in this paper analyzes the in-plane rotational robustness of the Viola-Jones object detection method when used for hand appearance detection. We determine t...
Using local features with nearest neighbor search and direct voting obtains excellent results for various image classification tasks. In this work we decompose the method into its...

We propose a new method ? Cubic Higher-order Local Auto-Correlation (CHLAC) ? to address three-way data analysis. This method is a natural extension of Higherorder Local Auto-Corr...
We propose an anonymous video capturing system, called "Stealth Vision", that protects the privacy of objects by fading out their appearance. In order to avoid difficult...
