Despite significant recent progress, the best available visual saliency models still lag behind human performance in predicting eye fixations in free-viewing of natural scenes. ...
—When automatically analyzing images of human faces, either for recognition in biometry applications or facial expression analysis in human machine interaction, one has to cope w...
Most automatic expression analysis systems attempt to recognize a small set of prototypic expressions (e.g. happiness and anger). Such prototypic expressions, however, occur infre...
Boosting based detection methods have successfully been used for robust detection of faces and pedestrians. However, a very large amount of labeled examples are required for train...
This paper presents a novel face-assisted video coding scheme to enhance the visual quality of the face regions in video telephony applications. A skin-color based face detection ...
