Recent advances in object recognition have emphasized the integration of intensity-derived features such as affine patches with associated geometric constraints leading to impressi...
We propose to utilize micro features, namely facial marks (e.g., freckles, moles, and scars) to improve face recognition and retrieval performance. Facial marks can be used in thr...
Abstract. Most previous methods for generic object recognition explicitly or implicitly assume that an image contains objects from a single category, although objects from multiple...

We propose a statistical formulation for 2-D human pose estimation from single images. The human body configuration is modeled by a Markov network and the estimation problem is to...
We present the tip and friction forces acting on a needle during penetration into a canine prostate, independently measured by a 7-axis load cell newly developed for this purpose. ...
