Human hair is a very complex visual pattern whose representation is rarely studied in the vision literature despite its important role in human recognition. In this paper, we prop...
In this paper, we present a mathematical theory for Marr's primal sketch. We first conduct a theoretical study of the descriptive Markov random field model and the generative...
This paper presents a novel integrated background model for video surveillance. Our model uses a primal sketch representation for image appearance and 3D scene geometry to capture...

Nonlinear deformations in fingerprint images, arising from the elasticity of the skin as well as the pressure and movement of the finger during image acquisition, lead to diffi...
We present a novel approach for measuring image similarity based on the composition of parts. The measure identifies common subregions between the images at multiple sizes, and e...
