In developing automated systems to recognize the emotional content of music, we are faced with a problem spanning two disparate domains: the space of human emotions and the acoust...

The layered depth image (LDI) is a popular approach to represent three-dimensional objects with complex geometry for image-based rendering (IBR). LDI contains several attribute val...
Image registration is a fundamental problem in the area of computer vision and has been extensively researched. Different image registration algorithm has its pros and cons. Unlik...
This paper presents a novel face detection approach in color images. We employ spatial histograms as robust features for face detection. The spatial histograms consist of marginal ...
In this research paper, we integrate and implement High-Availability (HA) and Load-Balancing technologies to clusters of workstations, increasing both the availability and scalabil...
In this paper, we describe the human ear creation in a system for 3-D photorealistic face modeling from frontal and profile images taken by an uncalibrated handheld digital camera...
End-to-end distortion estimation plays an important role in error-resilient video coding. The intuitive method is to simulate the decoding process many times at the encoder, as use...
In previous techniques of bit rate reduction transcoding, reusing the mode of the input MB is widely adopted. However, directly re-using the mode of input MB will cause additional ...
Abstract. In this paper, a new sign-wise tied mixture HMM (SWTMHMM) is proposed and applied in vision-based sign language recognition (SLR). In the SWTMHMM, the mixture densities o...
Kernel based methods have been of wide concern in the field of machine learning. This paper proposes a novel Gabor-Kernel Fisher analysis method (G-EKFM) for face recognition, whi...
