In this paper we approach the problem of fast surface grading of flat pieces decorated with random patterns. The proposed method is based on the use of global statistics of color ...
We present an approach to vision-based person detection in robotic applications that integrates top down template matching with bottom up classifiers. We detect components of the ...
In this paper we propose a face recognition algorithm that combines internal and external information of face images. Most of the previous works dealing with face recognition use o...
In the last decade, consumer graphics cards have increased their power because of the computer games industry. These cards are now programmable and capable of processing huge amoun...
We present a method that estimates high level animation parameters (muscle contractions, eye movements, eye lids opening, jaw motion and lips contractions) from a marker-less face ...
This paper presents a technique to enable deformable regions to be matched using image databases based on the information provided by the differential invariants of local histogram...
