Gait is a promising biometric cue which can facilitate the recognition of human beings, particularly when other biometrics are unavailable. Existing work for gait recognition, how...
Image content analysis has become an important issue in multimedia processing. Region-based image retrieval systems attempt to reduce the gap between high-level semantics and low-l...
We present a hierarchical generative model for object recognition that is constructed by weakly-supervised learning. A key component is a novel, adaptive patch feature whose width...
Speaker independent feature extraction is a critical problem in speech recognition. Oriented principal component analysis (OPCA) is a potential solution that can find a subspace r...
