Appearance-based methods, based on statistical models of the pixel values in an image (region) rather than geometrical object models, are increasingly popular in computer vision. I...
—This paper presents a method to find salient image points in images with regular patterns based on deviations from the overall manifold structure. The two main contributions ar...
Local features have proven very useful for recognition.
Manifold learning has proven to be a very powerful tool in
data analysis. However, manifold learning application for
imag...
Unlike most previous manifold-based data classification algorithms assume that all the data points are on a single manifold, we expect that data from different classes may reside ...
In this paper, we propose the concept of Manifold of Facial Expression based on the observation that images of a subject’s facial expressions define a smooth manifold in the hig...
