We tackle the challenge of kinship verification using novel feature extraction and selection methods, automatically classifying pairs of face images as "related" or &quo...

Earth Mover Distance (EMD) is a popular distance to compute distances between Probability Density Functions (PDFs). It has been successfully applied in a wide selection of problem...
Co-occurrence histograms of oriented gradients (CoHOG) are powerful descriptors in object detection. In this paper, we propose to utilize a very large pool of CoHOG features with ...
This paper proposes a Bayesian approach for estimation of instrument parameter in convex image deconvolution. The parameters of the instrument response (PSF) are jointly estimated...
This paper proposes a hybrid approximate pattern matching/ transform-based compression engine. The idea is to use regular video interframe prediction as a pattern matching algorit...
We present a fast and efficient geometric re-ranking method that can be incorporated in a feature based image-based retrieval system that utilizes a Vocabulary Tree (VT). We form ...

It is important in image restoration to remove noise while preserving meaningful detail such as blurred thin edges and low-contrast fine features. The existing edgepreserving smoo...
We consider a semi-supervised regression setting where we have temporal sequences of partially labeled data, under the assumption that the labels should vary slowly along a sequen...
