—We introduce a simple image descriptor referred to as the image signature. We show, within the theoretical framework of sparse signal mixing, that this quantity spatially approx...
Understanding and modifying the effects of arbitrary illumination on human faces in a realistic manner is a challenging problem both for face synthesis and recognition. Recent res...
Abstract. PatchMatch is a fast algorithm for computing dense approximate nearest neighbor correspondences between patches of two image regions [1]. This paper generalizes PatchMatc...
Sets of local features that are invariant to common image transformations are an effective representation to use when comparing images; current methods typically judge feature set...
In this paper we describe a multi-modal ear and face biometric system. The system is comprised of two components: a 3D ear recognition component and a 2D face recognition componen...
