Abstract-- This paper introduces Evolutionary Pursuit (EP) as a novel and adaptive representation method for image encoding and classification. In analogy to projection pursuit met...
We propose a new technique for direct visual matching of images for the purposes of face recognition and image retrieval, using a probabilistic measure of similarity, based primar...
In this paper we study face recognition across ages within a real passport photo verification task. First, we propose using the gradient orientation pyramid for this task. Discard...
We propose a vector representation (called a 3D signature) for 3D face shape in biometrics applications. Elements of the vector correspond to fixed surface points in a face-centere...
Biometric systems are designed to identify a person based on physiological or behavioral characteristics. In order to predict the utility of a particular image for identification,...
