Where does the sparsity in image signals come from? Local and nonlocal image models have supplied complementary views toward the regularity in natural images the former attempts t...
Subspace learning techniques are widespread in pattern recognition research. They include Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Locality Preserving Projection (LPP), etc. These tech...
In this paper, we develop and test an approach to retrieving images from an image database based on content similarity. First, each picture is divided into many overlapping region...
A novel algorithm is proposed to learn pattern similarities for texture image retrieval. Similar patterns in di erent texture classes are grouped into a cluster in the feature spac...
—Facial expression is a natural and powerful means of human communication. Recognizing spontaneous facial actions, however, is very challenging due to subtle facial deformation, ...
