In most of the automatic face classification applications, images should be captured in natural environments, where partial occlusions or high local changes in the illumination a...
Recently, we proposed a fast feature extraction approach denoted FSOM utilizes Self Organizing Map (SOM). FSOM [1] overcomes the slowness of traditional SOM search algorithm. We i...

Most face recognition systems only work well under quite constrained environments. In particular, the illumination conditions, facial expressions and head pose must be tightly con...
In cast-shadow analysis one merely draws a line between each occluder and its associated shadow cast onto a different surface, possibly with wedges indicating precision. In some c...
