Affine Correspondence Based Head Pose Estimation for a Sequence of Images by Using a 3D Model
This paper proposes a method of determining human head poses from a sequence of images. The main idea is to use some features in a 3D head model to generate a virtual fronto-paral...

Approximately Global Optimization for Robust Alignment of Generalized Shapes
—In this paper, we introduce a novel method to solve shape alignment problems. We use gray-scale “images” to represent source shapes, and propose a novel two-component Gaussi...

Flexible piecewise approximations based on partition of unity
In this paper, we study a flexible piecewise approximation technique based on the use of the idea of the partition of unity. The approximations are piecewisely defined, globally sm...

Optimal edge-based shape detection
Abstract--We propose an approach to accurately detecting twodimensional (2-D) shapes. The cross section of the shape boundary is modeled as a step function. We first derive a one-d...

Adaptive Submodularity: A New Approach to Active Learning and Stochastic Optimization
Solving stochastic optimization problems under partial observability, where one needs to adaptively make decisions with uncertain outcomes, is a fundamental but notoriously diffic...
