The Cameron project has developed a language and compiler for mapping image-based applications to field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). This paper tests this technology on sever...
Markov Random Fields (MRFs) are proposed as viable stochastic models for the spatial distribution of gray level intensities for images of human faces. These models are trained usi...
A large number of methods for circle detection has been studied in the last years for numerous image processing applications. The application domain considered in this paper is th...
We study the combination of face verification algorithms in order to improve the verification performance. Although the different face experts that we consider provide their outpu...
In this paper we define a Topological Tree (TT) as a knowledge representation method that aims to describe important visual and spatial features of image regions, namely the color...

Color and color neighborhood statistics have been used extensively in image matching and retrieval. However, the effective incorporation of color layout information remains a chal...
This paper validates a recognition system using bidimensional wavelet transforms as feature extractor and investigates the relevance of each subband image in the recognition proce...
We propose a method by which to analyze silhouettes and recognize a classic holdup position of armed robbery. In such a situation, one actor levels his or her arm while another ac...
We present a new fast approach for surface segmentation of thin structures, like vessels and vascular trees, based on Fast Marching and Level Sets methods. Fast Marching allows se...
