We model the performance of a speaker recognition system used for surveillance to prioritize a large number of candidate speakers in search of a single target speaker. It is assum...
This paper presents a novel method for illuminationinvariant and contrast preserving feature extraction, aimed at improving performance of tracking under complex light condition. ...
In this paper, we propose a novel approach for facial expression analysis and recognition. The proposed approach relies on tracked facial actions provided by an appearance-based 3...
Visually track several moving persons engaged in close interactions is known to be a very hard problem, though 3-D approaches based on stereo vision and plan-view maps offer much ...

PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) cameras are widely used for large-area video surveillance. For many visual tracking and video analysis tasks, an accurate camera calibration is very important....
The problem of decision fusion in a large wireless sensor system with many power-constrained distributed nodes is considered. The sensor network is assumed to be inhomogeneous. i....
This paper presents a novel technique for camera tampering detection. It is implemented in real-time and was developed for use in surveillance and security applications. This meth...

We propose in this work a method for detecting faces in colour images with complex backgrounds. The approach starts with the transformation of the image pixels from the RGB colour...
