This paper presents a new spatial-HMM(SHMM)for automatically classifying and annotating natural images. Our model is a 2D generalization of the traditional HMM in the sense that b...
In this paper, we discuss usage of a multi-stage Residual Vector Quantization (RVQ) strategy for human action recognition. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported...

This paper proposes a novel method to detect flames in video by processing the data generated by an ordinary camera monitoring a scene. In addition to ordinary motion and color cl...
In Computer Vision, two-dimensional shape classifcation is a complex and well studied topic, often basic for three-dimensional object recognition. Object contours are a widely cho...
This paper presents a new framework for shape modeling and analysis. A shape instance is described by a curvature-based shape descriptor. A Profile Hidden Markov Model (PHMM) is ...
