It is now common practice in machine vision to define the variability in an object's appearance in a factored manner, as a combination of shape and texture transformations. I...
We propose an information-theoretic method for multi-phase image segmentation, in an active contour-based framework. Our approach is based on nonparametric density estimates, and ...

This article proposes a new statistical model for fast 3D articulated body tracking, similar to the loose-limbed model, but where inter-frame coherence is taken into account by us...
The question of fingerprint individuality can be posed as follows: Given a query fingerprint, what is the probability that the observed number of minutiae matches with a template ...
The scores returned by support vector machines are often used as a confidence measures in the classification of new examples. However, there is no theoretical argument sustaining ...
