In this paper, we propose a component-based discriminative approach for face alignment without requiring initialization1 . Unlike many approaches which locally optimize in a small ...
Functionality-based recognition systems recognize objects at the category level by reasoning about how well the objects support the expected function. Such systems naturally assoc...
We present a new approach aimed at understanding the structure of connections in edge-bundling layouts. We combine the advantages of edge bundles with a bundle-centric simplified ...
We present a method for the hierarchical representation of vector fields. Our approach is based on iterative refinement using clustering and principal component analysis. The inpu...
— This paper presents a new method based on Fourier and moments features to extract words and characters from a video text line in any direction for recognition. Unlike existing ...
