Due to variations of lighting conditions, camera hardware settings, and the range of skin coloration among human beings, a pre-defined skin-color model cannot accurately capture t...
Coarse-to-fine approaches use sequences of increasingly fine approximations to control the complexity of inference and learning. These techniques are often used in NLP and visio...
Object recognition is challenging due to high intra-class
variability caused, e.g., by articulation, viewpoint changes,
and partial occlusion. Successful methods need to strike a...
We consider a class of learning problems regularized by a structured sparsity-inducing norm defined as the sum of 2- or ∞-norms over groups of variables. Whereas much effort ha...
This paper presents a statistical model for textures that uses a non-negative decomposition on a set of local atoms learned from an exemplar. This model is described by the varianc...
