The active appearance model (AAM) is a powerful method for modeling deformable visual objects. One of the major drawbacks of the AAM is that it requires a training set of pseudo-d...
We present a new approach to learning image metrics. The main advantage of our method lies in a formulation that requires only a few pairwise examples. Apparently, based on the li...
Recently, log-polar images have been successfully used in active-vision tasks such as vergence control or target tracking. However, while the role of foveal data has been exploited...

—A user’s focus of attention plays an important role in human–computer interaction applications, such as a ubiquitous computing environment and intelligent space, where the u...
We address the need for robust detection of obstructed human features in complex environments, with a focus on intelligent surgical UIs. In our setup, real-time detection is used t...
