This paper proposes a method for the rapid and precise estimation of human hand postures by combining 2-D appearance matching and 3-D model-based fitting. First a rough posture e...
—Soft biometric traits embedded in a face (e.g., gender and facial marks) are ancillary information and are not fully distinctive by themselves in face-recognition tasks. However...
Cloud enabled systems have become a crucial component to efficiently process and analyze massive amounts of data. One of the key data processing and analysis operations is the Sim...
In this paper, we propose a method for 3D-model retrieval from one or more photos. This method provides an ”optimal” selection of 2D views to represent a 3D-model, and a proba...
In this paper, an object-based video retrieval methodology for search in large, heterogeneous video collections is presented. The proposed approach employs a real-time, compressed-...
