The performance of an automatic fingerprint authentication system relies heavily on the quality of the captured fingerprint images. In this paper, two new quality indices for fi...
In this paper, we propose an object segmentation framework, based on the popular bag of features (BoF), which can process several images per second while achieving a good segmentat...
We propose textural features, which are invariant to illumination spectrum and extremely robust to illumination direction. They require only a single training image per texture an...
Recent results on sparse coding and independent component analysis suggest that human vision first represents a visual image by a linear superposition of a relatively small number ...
—We present an example-based learning approach for locating vertical frontal views of human faces in complex scenes. The technique models the distribution of human face patterns ...
