Abstract. Iterative compilation is an efficient approach to optimize programs on rapidly evolving hardware, but it is still only scarcely used in practice due to a necessity to gat...
In this paper, we propose a component-based discriminative approach for face alignment without requiring initialization1 . Unlike many approaches which locally optimize in a small ...
In this paper, we present an automatic mouth contour and state estimation system. An efficient mouth contour extraction algorithm is proposed under the framework of Active Shape M...
In this paper we study how to improve nearest neighbor classification by learning a Mahalanobis distance metric. We build on a recently proposed framework for distance metric lear...
