Warp that smile on your face: Optimal and smooth deformations for face recognition
— In this work, we present novel warping algorithms for full 2D pixel-grid deformations for face recognition. Due to high variation in face appearance, face recognition is consid...

Efficient Computation of Adaptive Threshold Surfaces for Image Binarization
The problem of binarization of gray level images acquired under nonuniform illumination is reconsidered. Yanowitz and Bruckstein proposed to use for image binarization an adaptive...

Fast global convergence of gradient methods for high-dimensional statistical recovery
Many statistical M-estimators are based on convex optimization problems formed by the weighted sum of a loss function with a norm-based regularizer. We analyze the convergence rat...
