In this work we compute the similarity of 3D faces using a set of eight contour curves. These contours were selected and matched using our 3D face matching framework. In previous ...
The attentive region extraction is a challenging issue for semantic interpretation of image and video content. The successful attentive region extraction greatly facilitates image...
We present a new histogram distance family, the Quadratic-Chi (QC). QC members are Quadratic-Form distances with a cross-bin χ2 -like normalization. The cross-bin χ2 -like normal...
