We present a two-step method to speed-up object detection systems in computer vision that use Support Vector Machines (SVMs) as classifiers. In a first step we perform feature red...

We present a component-based, trainable system for detecting frontal and near-frontal views of faces in still gray images. The system consists of a two-level hierarchy of Support ...

The use of higher-order local autocorrelations as features for pattern recognition has been acknowledged since many years, but their applicability was restricted to relatively low...
We present a new technique that employs support vector machines and Gaussian mixture densities to create a generative/discriminative joint classifier. In the past, several approac...
