Abstract. In many cases, human actions can be identified not only by the singular observation of the human body in motion, but also properties of the surrounding scene and the rel...
Appropriate feature selection is a very crucial issue in any machine learning framework, specially in Maximum Entropy (ME). In this paper, the selection of appropriate features for...
This chapter presents an approach for texture and object recognition that uses scale- or affine-invariant local image features in combination with a discriminative classifier. Text...
Scene text images feature an abundance of font style variety but a dearth of data in any given query. Recognition methods must be robust to this variety or adapt to the query data...
We aim to improve the accuracy of handwritten Chinese character recognition using two advanced techniques: discriminative feature extraction (DFE) and discriminative learning quad...
