The scientific significance of automatic logo detection and recognition is more and more growing because of the increasing requirements of intelligent document image analysis an...
In this paper we address the problem of relighting faces in presence of cast shadows and specularities. We present a solution to this problem by capturing the spatially varying Ap...
—In modern video surveillance systems, pan–tilt– zoom (PTZ) cameras certainly have the potential to allow the coverage of wide areas with a much smaller number of sensors, co...

We present a method that automatically detects chewing events in surveillance video of a subject. Firstly, an Active Appearance Model (AAM) is used to track a subject’s face acr...
—We present a new method for the robust detection and matching of multiple planes in pairs of images. Such planes can serve as stable landmarks for vision-based urban navigation....
Speech processing is typically based on a set of complex algorithms requiring many parameters to be specified. When parts of the speech processing chain do not behave as expected...

Since the large diffusion of digital camera and mobile devices with embedded camera and flashgun, the red-eyes artifacts have de-facto become a critical problem. The technique he...

We consider the problem of classification in nonadaptive dimensionality reduction. Specifically, we bound the increase in classification error of Fisher’s Linear Discriminant...
For the interpretation of a visual scene, it is important for a robotic system to pay attention to the objects in the scene and segment them from their background. We focus on the...
