This paper proposes a novel method for rapid and robust human detection and tracking based on the omega-shape features of people's head-shoulder parts. There are two modules ...
The integral image is typically used for fast integrating a function over a rectangular region in an image. We propose a method that extends the integral image to do fast integrat...
We introduce Scene Structural Matrix (SSM), a novel image content descriptor and its application to invariant image retrieval. The SSM captures the overall structural characterist...
Recently, accidents such that seniors fall down from the bed in care facilities or hospitals are increased. To prevent these accidents, we have developed an awakening detection sys...
Many object classes, including human faces, can be modeled as a set of characteristic parts arranged in a variable spatial con guration. We introduce a simpli ed model of a deforma...
