In this work we propose a probabilistic model for generic object classification from raw range images. Our approach supports a validation process in which classes are verified usi...
This paper deals with the analysis of broadcast soccer video. To recognize interesting events such as a goal, estimation of ball movements is necessary. It is, however, sometimes ...

The performance of the fingerprint identification and verification systems relies heavily on the quality of the input fingerprint images. In this paper, we propose an effective im...
This paper presents a novel technique to fill in missing background and moving foreground of a video captured by a static or moving camera. Different from previous efforts which a...
Much past research on finding text in natural scenes uses bottom-up grouping processes to detect candidate text features as a first processing step. While such grouping procedures...
Most face recognition systems only work well under quite constrained environments. In particular, the illumination conditions, facial expressions and head pose must be tightly con...
This paper presents a new representation and evaluation procedure of page segmentation algorithms and analyzes six widely-used layout analysis algorithms using the procedure. The ...
In this paper, we propose an effective fingerprint matching algorithm based on ridge count matching and minutiae subset combination. In the algorithm, the orientation-based ridge ...
Recent technological advances have enabled human users to interact with computers in ways previously unimaginable. Beyond the confines of the keyboard and mouse, new modalities fo...

We present a novel split and merge based method for dividing a given metric map into distinct regions, thus effectively creating a topological map on top of a metric one. The init...
