Abstract— It is widely realized that the integration of information retrieval (IR) and database (DB) techniques provides users with a broad range of high quality services. A new ...
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allows numerous Fourier domain sampling schemes such as Cartesian and non-Cartesian trajectories (e.g. Polar, circular, and spherical). On the oth...

In the framework of a face verification system using local features and a Gaussian Mixture Model based classifier, we address the problem of non-frontal face verification (when on...
