In the framework of a face verification system using local features and a Gaussian Mixture Model based classifier, we address the problem of non-frontal face verification (when on...
A new method, using weighted combinations of shifted transforms, is developed for deringing and deblocking DCT compressed color images. The method shows substantial deringing impr...
This paper presents an object recognition method that exploits the representation of the images obtained by means of a Binary Partition Tree (BPT). The shape matching technique in...
Compound images contain a mixture of natural images, text, and graphics. They need special care in the use of compression because text and graphics cannot withstand the significan...
We propose a registration algorithm based on successively refined quantization and an alignment metric derived from a minimal spanning tree entropy estimate. The metric favors edg...
We propose in this paper an interactive segmentation algorithm based on curve evolution techniques. The task of automated segmentation has proven to be highly complex and applicat...
Most tracking algorithms detect moving objects by comparing incoming images against a reference frame. Crucially, this reference image must adapt continuously to the current light...

Skin detection or segmentation is employed in many tasks related to the detection and tracking of humans and human-body parts. However, skin detection is not robust enough for dea...
Pixels in hyperspectral images usually contain spectra from several classifiable objects, so that the recorded pixel is a mixture of the classes. Current methods estimate the prop...
