Recovering the three-dimensional (3D) object shape lies as an unresolved and active research topic on the crosssection of computer vision, photogrammetry and bioinformatics. Altho...
We present an object class detection approach which fully integrates the complementary strengths offered by shape matchers. Like an object detector, it can learn class models dire...
In this paper we present an improved Active Shape Model (ASM) for facial features extraction. The original ASM developed by Cootes et al. [1] suffers from factors such as, poor mod...
