—This paper presents a camera combo system for personal remote collaboration applications. The system consists of two different cameras. One camera has a wide field of view, and...
Abstract—In this paper we study the problem of evaluating the reconstruction distortion in the wavelet domain when adaptive lifting schemes (ALS) are used for the direct and inve...
—Embedded speaker recognition in mobile devices could involve several ergonomic constraints and a limited amount of computing resources. Even if they have proved their efficienc...
— Active appearance model (AAM) has been widely used in face tracking and recognition. However, accuracy and efficiency are always two main challenges with the AAM search. The pa...
