We give a fast rejection scheme that is based on image segments and demonstrate it on the canonical example of face detection. However, instead of focusing on the detection step w...
Adaptable similarity queries based on quadratic form distance functions are widely popular in data mining applications, particularly for domains such as multimedia, CAD, molecular ...
—Soft biometric traits embedded in a face (e.g., gender and facial marks) are ancillary information and are not fully distinctive by themselves in face-recognition tasks. However...
Efficient similarity search in high-dimensional spaces is important to content-based retrieval systems. Recent studies have shown that sketches can effectively approximate L1 dist...
In the heart of the computer model of visual attention, an interest or saliency map is derived from an input image in a process that encompasses several data combination steps. Whi...
