In this paper, we describe an interest point detector using edge foci. Unlike traditional detectors that compute interest points directly from image intensities, we use normalized...
This paper investigates how to parse (segment) facial components from face images which may be partially occluded. We propose a novel face parser, which recasts segmentation of fa...
Given an image region of pixels, second order statistics can be used to construct a descriptor for object representation. One example is the covariance matrix descriptor, which sh...

In this paper, we present a novel approach to robust skeleton extraction. We use undirected graphs to model connectivity of the skeleton points. The graph topology remains unchang...
Recent developments in computer vision have shown that local features can provide efficient representations suitable for robust object recognition. Support Vector Machines have be...
