Recent empirical work has shown that combining predictors can lead to significant reduction in generalization error. The individual predictors (weak learners) can be very simple, ...
It is very important for the performance evaluation of iris recognition algorithms to construct very large iris databases. However, limited by the real conditions, there are no ve...
A measure of stability for a wide class of pattern recognition algorithms is introduced to cope with overfitting in classification problems. Based on this concept, constructive me...
This work presents a novel people tracking approach, able to cope with frequent shape changes and large occlusions. In particular, the tracks are described by means of probabilist...

A Markov random field (MRF) model with a new implementation scheme is proposed for unsupervised image segmentation based on image features. The traditional two-component MRF model...
In this paper, we investigate the problem of automatic audio surveillance. This aspect of the surveillance, which extends the more investigated area of video surveillance, can be ...
Recently it has been claimed that as early as 1420 some European artists constructed their paintings by optically projecting images onto their supports (canvas, oak panel, etc.) a...
This paper describes a new modeling of the shape from shading problem taking perspective projection into account, and proposes a method of resolution for the new equation. An appl...
We present a hierarchical image based facial model which is driven from speech. It incorporates a novel modelling and synthesis algorithm for learning and producing coarticulated ...

In this paper we present an image segmentation technique that fuses contributions from multiple feature subspaces using an energy minimization approach. For each subspace, we comp...
