Image Renaissance Using Discrete Optimization
In this paper we propose a novel technique to image completion that addresses image renaissance through a graph-based matching process. To this end, a number of candidate seeds wi...

Modelling Crowd Scenes for Event Detection
This work presents an automatic technique for detection of abnormal events in crowds. Crowd behaviour is difficult to predict and might not be easily semantically translated. More...

Combining Dichotomizers for MAP Field Classification
A new method for combining dichotomizers like SVMs is proposed for classifying multi-class pattern fields. The novelty lies in the estimation of the styleconstrained posterior fie...

A Hybrid HMM-Based Speech Recognizer Using Kernel-Based Discriminants as Acoustic Models
In this paper we propose a novel order-recursive training algorithm for kernel-based discriminants which is computationally efficient. We integrate this method in a hybrid HMM-bas...

Robust log-Gabor filter for ear biometrics
Ears are a new biometric with major advantage in that they appear to maintain their structure with increasing age. Expanding on our previous parts-based model, we propose a new wa...

An empirical comparison of graph-based dimensionality reduction algorithms on facial expression recognition tasks
Facial expression recognition is a topic of interest both in industry and academia. Recent approaches to facial expression recognition are based on mapping expressions to low dime...

Robust extraction of 1D skeletons from grayscale 3D images
We propose novel thinning conditions for grayscale 3D images that do not rely on image thresholding or segmentation. The resulting grayscale skeletonization routine extracts a top...

White-space models for offline Arabic handwriting recognition
We propose to explicitly model white-spaces for Arabic handwriting recognition within different writing variants. Position-dependent character shapes in Arabic handwriting allow f...

Indefinite Kernel Fisher Discriminant
Indefinite kernels arise in practice, e.g. from problem-specific kernel construction. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the behavior and suitability of classifiers in the c...
