The principal objective of this thesis is to investigate approaches toward a robust automatic face authentication (AFA) system in weakly constrained environments. In this context, we develop new algorithms based on local features and generative models. In ...
This document describes our work to provide a video database, of people in real situations with their head pose continuously annotated through time. The head poses were annotated using a magnetic 3d location and orientation tracker, the flock of bird. The ...
An important branch of computer vision is image segmentation. Image segmentation aims at extracting meaningful objects lying in images either by dividing images into contiguous semantic regions, or by extracting one or more specific objects in images such ...
For augmented reality applications, accurate estimation of the camera pose is required. An existing video-based markerless tracking system, developed at the ITS, presents several weaknesses towards this goal. In order to improve the video tracker, several ...
The purpose of Face localization is to determine the coordinates of a face in a given image. It is a fundamental research area in computer vision because it serves, as a necessary first step, any face processing systems, such as automatic face recognition, ...
Visual surveillance is an important computer vision research problem. As more and more surveillance cameras appear around us, the demand for automatic methods for video analysis is increasing. Such methods have broad applications including surveillance for ...
In this paper we describe an efficient software architecture for object-tracking, based on a stereoscopic vision system, that has been applied to a mobile robot controlled by a PC. After analyzing the epipolar rectification required to correct the original ...
Visual surveillance is an important computer vision research problem. As more and more surveillance cameras appear around us, the demand for automatic methods for video analysis is increasing. Such methods have broad applications including surveillance for ...
The intent of this paper is to show how the accuracy of 3D position tracking can be improved by considering rover locomotion in rough terrain as a holistic problem. An appropriate locomotion concept endowed with a controller min- imizing slip improves the ...
Quality assessment is a central issue in the design, implementation, and performance testing of all systems. Digital signal processing systems generally deal with visual information that are meant for human consumption. An image, a video, or a 3D model may ...
