If applications were able to detect a user's expertise, then software could automatically adapt to better match expertise. Detecting expertise is difficult because a user...
The detection of faces in images is fundamentally a rare event detection problem. Cascade classifiers provide an efficient computational solution, by leveraging the asymmetry in t...
In this paper we develop a novel contrast-invariant appearance detection model. The goal is to classify object-specific images (e.g. face images) from generic background patches. ...
Semi-fragile watermarking can be used to detect illegal and local manipulation of images, while being robust towards legal manipulations such as lossy compression. This paper desc...

Scale-space representation of an image is a significant way to generate features for classification. However, for a specific classification task, the entire scale-space may not be...
