We propose a closely coupled object detection and segmentation algorithm for enhancing both processes in a cooperative and iterative manner. Figure-ground segmentation reduces the...
This paper proposes a vision-based method for detecting the positions of fingertips of a hand playing a guitar. We detect the skin color of a guitar player’s hand by using on-li...
—In this work we propose a dynamic-texture-based approach to the recognition of facial Action Units (AUs, atomic facial gestures) and their temporal models (i.e., sequences of te...
We have created a real-time evolutionary object recognition system. Genetic Programming is used to automatically search the space of possible computer vision programs guided throug...
We propose an innovative, general purpose, approach to the selection and hierarchical representation of key frames of a video sequence for video summarization. In the first stage ...
