Invariance is an important aspect in image object recognition. We present results obtained with an extended tangent distance incorporated in a kernel density based Bayesian classi...
Recently, a successful extension of Principal Component Analysis for structured input, such as sequences, trees, and graphs, has been proposed. This allows the embedding of discret...
