Conventional shape matching for engineering models primarily considers rigid shape similarity. They do not seek global shape similarity while considering large local deformations....
The objective in any pattern recognition problem is to capture the characteristics common to each class from feature vectors of the training data. While Gaussian mixture models ap...
— We propose a method for automatic emotion recognition as part of the FERA 2011 competition [1] . The system extracts pyramid of histogram of gradients (PHOG) and local phase qu...
