This paper shows how to construct a linear deformable model for graph structure by performing principal components analysis (PCA) on the vectorised adjacency matrix. We commence b...
The Non-negative Matrix Factorization technique (NMF) has been recently proposed for dimensionality reduction. NMF is capable to produce a region- or partbased representation of o...
We here describe a view-based system for the pose-independent representation of objects without making reference to 3-D models. Input to the system is a collection of pictures cov...
In this paper, we address the issue of extracting contour of the object with a specific shape. A hierarchical graphical model is proposed to represent shape variations. A complex ...
Analyzing the effect of concentrated noise on a typical decision-making process of a simplified two-candidate voting model, we have demonstrated that a local approach using a regi...
