Abstract--We investigate parameter-based and distributionbased approaches to regularizing the generative, similarity-based classifier called local similarity discriminant analysis ...
In video surveillance, the size of face images is very small. However, few works have been done to investigate scale invariant face recognition. Our experiments on appearance-base...
We present an approach for measuring similarity between visual entities (images or videos) based on matching internal self-similarities. What is correlated across images (or acros...
In object recognition problems a two-stage system is usually adopted composed of a fast and simple detector and a more complex classifier. This paper studies a design of the secon...
Novel similarity measures for object recognition and image matching are proposed, which are inherently robust against occlusion, clutter, and nonlinear illumination changes. They c...
