Shape warping is a key problem in statistical shape analysis. This paper proposes a framework for geometric shape warping based on both shape distances and landmarks. Our method i...

A directional spatial relationship to a reference object (e.g., "east of the post office") can be represented by a spatial template. The template partitions the space in...
Natural scene images coming usually from lowresolution sensors in embedded context suffer from low text recognition results. Due to several types of degradations, existing algorit...
A new method for noise reduction using spatiotemporal smoothing is presented in this paper. The method is developed especially for reducing the noise that arises when acquiring vi...
In many situations it is convenient to represent pictorial data in the form of contours. It may become necessary to compress such contour data for efficient storage and transmissi...
This paper describes adaptation to gradual changes of walking directions for gait identification. First, we propose a method of body tilt correction due to changes of walking dire...
In this work we propose a model (in)validation approach to gait recognition, using a system that tries to discriminate specific activities of people. The recognition process depar...
As camera resolution increases, high-speed non-contact text capture through a digital camera is opening up a new channel for document capture and understanding. Unfortunately, per...
For document images captured by a digital camera, perspective and geometric distortions make it hard to recognize the document content properly. In this paper, we propose an integ...
