Reconstruction method and devices for two-dimensional signals that are not bandlimited but have a parametric representation with a finite number of degrees of freedom. The signal is reconstructed from the samples obtained after a suitable filtering with a ...
We present a framework for sparse Gaussian process (GP) methods which uses forward selection with criteria based on information-theoretic principles, previously suggested for active learning. Our goal is not only to learn d-sparse predictors (which can be ...
Consider classes of signals that have a finite number of degrees of freedom per unit of time and call this number the rate of innovation. Examples of signals with a finite rate of innovation include streams of Diracs (e.g., the Poisson process), nonuniform ...

This paper proposes the use of Gaussian Mixture Models to estimate conditional probability density functions. A conditional Gaussian Mixture Model has been compared to the geostatistical method of Sequential Gaussian Simulations. The data set used is a par ...
We define multi-scale moments that are estimated locally by analyzing the image through a sliding window at multiple scales. When the analysis window satisfies a two-scale relation, we prove that these moments can be computed very efficiently using a multi ...
The performance of face verification systems has steadily improved over the last few years. State-of-the-art methods use the projection of the gray-scale face image into a Linear Discriminant subspace as input of a classifier such as Support Vector Machine ...
In this report we first review important publications in the field of face recognition; geometric features, templates, Principal Component Analysis (PCA), pseudo-2D Hidden Markov Models, Elastic Graph Matching, as well as other points are covered; importan ...
We propose the framework of mutual information kernels for learning covariance kernels, as used in Support Vector machines and Gaussian process classifiers, from unlabeled task data using Bayesian techniques. We describe an implementation of this framework ...
Numerous problems in electronic imaging systems involve the need to interpolate from irregularly spaced data. One example is the calibration of color input/output devices with respect to a common intermediate objective color space, such as XYZ or L* ...
The estimation of cumulative distributions is classically performed using the empirical distribution function. This estimator has excellent properties but is lacking continuity. Smooth versions of the empirical distribution function have been obtained by k ...
