We explore the possibility of recognizing the surface material from a single image with unknown illumination, given the shape of the surface. Model-based PCA is used to create a lo...
Subspace learning techniques are widespread in pattern recognition research. They include PCA, ICA, LPP, etc. These techniques are generally linear and unsupervised. The problem o...
One of the major difficulties in face recognition systems is the in-depth pose variation problem. Most face recognition approaches assume that the pose of the face is known. In th...
This paper describes a new method to recover the sign of the local Gaussian curvature at each point on the visible surface of a 3-D object. Multiple (p > 3) shaded images are a...

3D freehand ultrasound imaging is becoming a widespread technique in medical examinations. This imaging technique produces a set of irregularly spaced B-scans. Reconstructing a reg...
