Complex human motion estimation using visibility
This paper presents a novel algorithm for estimating complex human motion from 3D video. We base our algorithm on a model-based approach which uses a complete surface mesh of a 3D...

A discriminative approach to frame-by-frame head pose tracking
We present a discriminative approach to frame-by-frame head pose tracking that is robust to a wide range of illuminations and facial appearances and that is inherently immune to a...

Statistical body height estimation from a single image
We address the problem of estimating a person’s body height from a single uncalibrated image. The novelty of our work lies in that we handle two difficult cases not previously ...

Unsupervised clustering for google searches of celebrity images
How do we identify images of the same person in photo albums? How can we find images of a particular celebrity using web image search engines? These types of tasks require solvin...

Emotional contagion for unseen bodily expressions: Evidence from facial EMG
Emotional contagion refers to the tendency to automatically mimic and synchronize our facial expressions with those of another person. Recent EMG studies have shown that emotional...

Image-set matching using a geodesic distance and cohort normalization
An image-set based face recognition algorithm is proposed that exploits the full geometrical interpretation of Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA). CCA maximizes the correlation ...

2D-3D face matching using CCA
In recent years, 3D face recognition has obtained much attention. Using 2D face image as probe and 3D face data as gallery is an alternative method to deal with computation comple...

Learning image alignment without local minima for face detection and tracking
Active Appearance Models (AAMs) have been extensively used for face alignment during the last 20 years. While AAMs have numerous advantages relative to alternate approaches, they ...

Person-independent face tracking based on dynamic AAM selection
Abstract This paper proposes a real-time high-precision method to track an unknown face in front of an information system by selecting appropriate model to a video image. Active Ap...
