This paper presents a survey on the recent use of Local Binary Patterns (LBPs) for face recognition. LBP is becoming a popular technique for face representation. It is a non-parametric kernel which summarizes the local spacial structure of an image and it ...
In this paper we aim to explore what is the most appropriate number of data samples needed when measuring the temporal correspondence between a chosen set of video and audio cues in a given audio-visual sequence. Presently the optimal model that connects s ...
We consider sensor networks that measure spatio-temporal correlated processes. An important task in such settings is the reconstruction at a certain node, called the sink, of the data at all points of the field. We consider scenarios where data is time cri ...
We propose a semiparametric model for regression problems involving multiple response variables. Conditional dependencies between the responses are represented through a linear mixture of Gaussian processes. We propose an efficient approximate inference sc ...
In this study, an algorithm is proposed to solve the multi-body structure from motion (SfM) problem for the single camera case. The algorithm uses the epipolar criterion to segment the features belonging to independently moving objects. Once the features a ...
We present a new result characterized by an exact integral expression for the approximation error between a probability density and an integer shift invariant estimate obtained from its samples. Unlike the Parzen window estimate, this estimate avoids recom ...
This paper presents a new algorithm for classifying distributions. The algorithm combines the principle of margin maximization and a kernel trick, applied to distributions. Thus, it combines the discriminative power of support vector machines and the well- ...
A common feature of the Vlasov equation is that it develops fine-scale filamentation as time evolves, as observed, for example, in global nonlinear simulations of the ion-temperature-gradient instability. From a numerical point of view, it is not trivial t ...
We show that for a voter model on {0,1}Z corresponding to a random walk with kernel p(·) and starting from unanimity to the right and opposing unanimity to the left, a tight interface between 0's and 1's exists if p(·) has second moments but does not if p( ...
As sampling is taking place, the most active regions of the spectrum can be identified (i.e. the vicinity of spectral peaks). By selectively increasing the spectral density within those regions improves the quality of the total spectral representation redu ...
