Abstract—Contour features play an important role in object recognition. Psychological experiments have shown that maximum-curvature points are most distinctive along a contour [6...
This paper presents a system that detects humans climbing fences. After extracting a binary blob contour, the system models the human with an extended star-skeleton representation...
This paper deals with a new interest points detector. Unlike most standard detectors which concentrate on the local shape of the signal, the main objective of this new operator is...
Spoofing with photograph or video is one of the most common manner to circumvent a face recognition system. In this paper, we present a real-time and non-intrusive method to addre...
Due to distortion, noise, segmentation errors, overlap, and occlusion of objects in digital images, it is usually impossible to extract complete object contours or to segment the ...
