Face detection is a canonical example of a rare event detection problem, in which target patterns occur with much lower frequency than nontargets. Out of millions of face-sized wi...
Finding faces in visually challenging environments is crucial to many applications, such as audio-visual automatic speech recognition, video indexing, person recognition, and vide...
Common practice in anomaly-based intrusion detection assumes that one size fits all: a single anomaly detector should detect all anomalies. Compensation for any performance short...
This paper introduces a novel way to leverage the implicit geometry of sparse local features (e.g. SIFT operator) for the purposes of object detection and segmentation. A two-clas...
This paper proposes a license plate detection algorithm using both global statistical features and local Haar-like features. Classifiers using global statistical features are cons...
