Abstract. This paper presents a method to segment the hand over complex backgrounds, such as the face. The similar colors and texture of the hand and face make the problem particul...
It has been previously demonstrated that systems based on block wise local features and Gaussian mixture models (GMM) are suitable for video based talking face verification due t...
In spite of the initialization problem, the ExpectationMaximization (EM) algorithm is widely used for estimating the parameters in several data mining related tasks. Most popular ...

We introduce Bayesian sensing hidden Markov models (BS-HMMs) to represent speech data based on a set of state-dependent basis vectors. By incorporating the prior density of sensin...
We present a multivariate statistical model to represent the human skin color. In our approach, there are no limitations regarding if the person is white or black, once the model ...
