Active Shape Model (ASM) is one of the most powerful statistical tools for face image alignment. In this paper, we propose a novel method, called Bunch-Active Shape Model (Bunch-AS...
Abstract. An eye contour extraction method which combines a simplied version of Active Shape Model(ASM) with a gradient method is proposed. Considering the large amount of calculat...
Abstract The research presented here is to create 3D virtual face based on the canonical face model derived from a clustering method on facial feature points. The algorithm efficie...
In this paper we present a system to recognize the hand motion of Taiwanese Sign Language (TSL) using the Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) through a vision-based interface. Our hand mot...
The null space N(St) of total scatter matrix St contains no useful information for pattern classification. So, discarding the null space N(St) results in dimensionality reduction ...

In a lip-reading system, one key issue is how to extract the visual features, which greatly impact on the lip-reading recognition accuracy and efficiency. In this paper, we propos...
In this paper, a method is introduced how to process the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) by a singlelayer neural network with a linear transfer function. By implementing the sugg...
