In this paper, we propose a novel approach to model shape variations. It encodes sparsity, exploits geometric redundancy, and accounts for the different degrees of local variation...
Abstract. Cast indexing is a very important application for contentbased video browsing and retrieval, since the characters in feature-length films and TV series are always the ma...
