The chapter describes visual classification by a hierarchy of semantic fragments. In fragment-based classification, objects within a class are represented by common sub-structures ...
The ability to detect a persons unconstrained hand in a natural video sequence has applications in sign language, gesture recognition and HCI. This paper presents a novel, unsuper...
Abstract. Gabor filters have demonstrated their effectiveness in automatic face recognition. However, one drawback of Gabor-based face representations is the huge amount of data th...
