Vector filters based on order-statistics have proved successful in removing impulsive noise from color images while preserving edges and fine image details. Among these filters, t...
In this paper we present a new optimization technique for the neighborhood computation in connected component labeling focused on images stored in raster scan order. This new tech...
A new and fast method for dominant point detection and polygonal representation of a discrete curve is proposed. Starting from results of discrete geometry [1, 2], the notion of m...
We propose to utilize micro features, namely facial marks (e.g., freckles, moles, and scars) to improve face recognition and retrieval performance. Facial marks can be used in thr...
In this paper, we present a novel algorithm for representing facial expressions. The algorithm is based on the non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) algorithm, which decomposes ...
This paper proposes a new face recognition method. There are two novelties in the proposed method. First, a new saliency measure function is designed to detect the most salient re...
Face recognition has many important practical applications, like surveillance and access control. It is concerned with the problem of correctly identifying face images and assigni...
Face detection has been well studied in terms of accuracy and speed. However, required memory size reduction is still poorly studied, which is becoming a critical issue as platfor...
In the near future automatic systems able to detect the traffic situation and to understand driver behavior and intent will probably become vehicles tool to improve driver safety....
