A new HMM for on-line character recognition using pen-direction and pen-coordinate features
A new hidden Markov model (HMM) is proposed for on-line character recognition using two typical features, pen-direction feature and pen-coordinate feature. These two features are ...

Parameter-based reduction of Gaussian mixture models with a variational-Bayes approach
This paper 1 proposes a technique for simplifying a given Gaussian mixture model, i.e. reformulating the density in a more parcimonious manner, if possible (less Gaussian componen...

An improved mean-shift tracker with kernel prediction and scale optimisation targeting for low-frame-rate video tracking
The mean-shift (MS) algorithm is widely used in object tracking because of its speed and simplicity. However, it assumes certain overlap of object appearance and smooth change in ...
