In this paper, we propose a word shape recognition method for retrieving image-based documents. Document images are segmented at the word level first. Then the proposed method det...
In this paper, we propose a new method for face detection from cluttered images. We use a polynomial neural network (PNN) for separation of face and non-face patterns while the co...
3D Human face models have been widely used in applications such as face recognition, facial expression recognition, human action recognition, head tracking, facial animation, vide...
Simple wavelet and wavelet packet transforms have often been used for texture characterisation through the analysis of spatial-frequency content. However, most previous methods ma...

This paper covers a method for capturing documents using a digital camera. A typical cheap VGA digital camera (resolution 640 by 480 pixels) does not have adequate resolution to c...
In this paper we introduce the idea of using Computer Vision techniques for improving and enhancing watermarking capabilities. Specifically, we incorporate Geometric Hashing techn...
In progressive joint source-channel coding of images, experiments show that optimizing rate allocation according to PSNR criteria and according to rate criteria produce essentiall...
We show how the symmetry of motion can be extracted by using the Generalised Symmetry Operator for analysing motion and for gait recognition. This operator, rather than relying on...
