In this paper, to provide a robot with information relative to structure of its environment, we propose a method to recognize types of structural corridor landmarks such as T-junct...
The expectation maximization (EM) algorithm is widely used in the Gaussian mixture model (GMM) as the state-of-art statistical modeling technique. Like the classical EM method, th...

Abstract--In this paper we propose a new multi-view semisupervised learning algorithm called Local Co-Training (LCT). The proposed algorithm employs a set of local models with vect...
Reducing the dimension of local descriptors in images is useful to perform pixels comparison faster. We show here that, for enhancing and optimising the computation of the NL-mean...
This article presents an appearance based method to detect automatically facial actions. Our approach focuses on reducing features sensitivity to identity of the subject. We compu...
Abstract--Multiple instance learning (MIL) is a recently researched technique used for learning a target concept in the presence of noise. Previously, a random set framework for mu...
In recent years, fractal and multi-fractal analysis have been widely applied in many domains, especially in the field of image processing. In this direction we present in this pape...
Speaker change detection is most commonly done by statistically determining whether the two adjacent segments of a speech stream are significantly different or not. In this paper, ...
