Face Recognition using the Moving Window Classifier
The Moving Window Classifier(MWC) has previously been proposed as an efficient scheme for text recognition applications. In this paper, the potential of the MWC algorithm in face ...

Writer Identification from Non-uniformly Skewed Handwriting Images
Many techniques have been reported for handwriting-based writer identification. Most such techniques assume that the written text is fixed (e.g., in signature verification). In th...

Parallel Chains, Delayed Rejection and Reversible Jump MCMC for Object Recognition
We tackle the problem of object recognition using a Bayesian approach. A marked point process [1] is used as a prior model for the (unknown number of) objects. A sample is generat...

Dual Representations for Vision-Based 3D Reconstruction
We consider the problem of representing sets of 3D points in the context of 3D reconstruction from point matches. We present a new representation for sets of 3D points, which is g...

Improving Stereo Performance in Regions of Low Texture
In images with low texture the performance of conventional dense stereo can be poor. The usual solution to this is to use a large window but this itself can be problematic as the ...

Multi-Scale 3-D Free-Form Surface Smoothing
A novel technique for multi-scale smoothing of a free-form 3-D surface is presented. Complete triangulated models of 3-D objects are constructed (through fusion of range images) a...

Gait Classification with HMMs for Trajectories of Body Parts Extracted by Mixture Densities
In this paper we describe a system for automatic gait analysis. Different kinds of human gait are recognized using sequences of grey

Choosing an Optimal Neural Network Size to aid a Search Through a Large Image Database
In this paper a fast method of selecting a neural network architecture for pattern recognition tasks is presented. We demonstrate that our proposed method of selecting both input ...

A Bi-Directional Integrated Model for Non-Rigid Motion Analysis
To be able to understand the motion of deformable objects, techniques in image processing and computer vision are essential for non-rigid motion analysis in this active research a...
