Statistical Shape Models Using Elastic-String Representations
Abstract. To develop statistical models for shapes, we utilize an elastic string representation where curves (denoting shapes) can bend and locally stretch (or compress) to optimal...

A Bottom up Algebraic Approach to Motion Segmentation
We present a bottom up algebraic approach for segmenting multiple 2D motion models directly from the partial derivatives of an image sequence. Our method fits a polynomial called ...

Face Recognition Under Varying Illumination Based on MAP Estimation Incorporating Correlation Between Surface Points
In this paper, we propose a new method for face recognition under varying illumination conditions using a single input image. Our method is based on a statistical shape-from-shadin...

Matching Gait Image Sequences in the Frequency Domain for Tracking People at a Distance
This paper describes a new method to track people walking by matching their gait image sequences in the frequency domain. When a person walks at a distance from a camera, that pers...

Object Detection Using a Cascade of 3D Models
Abstract. We present an alignment framework for object detection using a hierarchy of 3D polygonal models. One difficulty with alignment methods is that the high-dimensional transf...
