The algorithm presented in this paper aims to segment the foreground objects in video (e.g., people) given timevarying, textured backgrounds. Examples of time-varying backgrounds ...
We present a semi-Markov model for recognizing scene text that integrates character and word segmentation with recognition. Using wavelet features, it requires only approximate lo...

Active Shape Model is an efficient way for localizing objects with variable shapes. When ASM is extended to multiview cases, the parameter estimation approaches in previous works ...
We present a new contour analysis technique to detect people in thermal imagery. Background-subtraction is first used to identify local regions-of-interest. Gradient information w...
In this paper, we present a connectionist approach for detecting and precisely localizing semi-frontal human faces in complex images, making no assumption about the content or the...
