Multi-class classification strategies for Fisher scores of gesture and sign sequences
In this work, we propose a multi-class classification strategy based on Fisher kernels. Fisher kernels combine the powers of discriminative and generative classifiers by mapping v...

3D ear modeling and recognition from video sequences using shape from shading
We describe a novel approach for 3D ear biometrics using video. A series of frames are extracted from a video clip and the region-of-interest (ROI) in each frame is independently ...
