Learning models for detecting and classifying object categories is a challenging problem in machine vision. While discriminative approaches to learning and classification have, in...
Fisher linear discriminant analysis (FDA) and its kernel extension--kernel discriminant analysis (KDA)--are well known methods that consider dimensionality reduction and classific...

The power and popularity of kernel methods stem in part from their ability to handle diverse forms of structured inputs, including vectors, graphs and strings. Recently, several m...

In this paper, we introduce a novel discriminative feature space which is efficient not only for face detection but also for recognition. The face representation is based on local...
Abstract. The Fisher kernel (FK) is a generic framework which combines the benefits of generative and discriminative approaches. In the context of image classification the FK was s...
