—We present the Hermite radial basis function (HRBF) implicits method to compute a global implicit function which interpolates scattered multivariate Hermite data (unstructured p...
Appearance information is essential for applications such as tracking and people recognition. One of the main problems of using appearance-based discriminative models is the ambig...
—Network cameras, extensively used in video surveillance, often allow pan-tilt-zoom functionality and are also subject to wind load and mount vibrations, thus causing video frame...
—This work aims at investigating the influence of luminance information and environment illumination on skin classification. We explore Bayesian approaches to perform automatic...

Abstract—The ability to filter improper content from multimedia sources based on visual content has important applications, since text-based filters are clearly insufficient a...
—This paper proposes an improved version for the JSEG color image segmentation algorithm, combining the classical JSEG algorithm and a local fractal operator that measures the fr...
