Face Recognition: A Literature Survey

by W. Zhao, R. Chellappa, P. J. Phillips, A. Rosenfeld , 2000
"... ... This paper provides an up-to-date critical survey of still- and video-based face recognition research. There are two underlying motivations for us to write this survey paper: the first is to provide an up-to-date review of the existing literature, and the second is to offer some insights into ..."

into the studies of machine recognition of faces. To provide a comprehensive survey, we not only categorize existing recognition techniques but also present detailed descriptions of representative methods within each category. In addition,

Real-time human pose recognition in parts from single depth images

by Jamie Shotton, Andrew Fitzgibbon, Mat Cook, Toby Sharp, Mark Finocchio, Richard Moore, Alex Kipman, Andrew Blake - In In CVPR, 2011. 3
"... We propose a new method to quickly and accurately predict 3D positions of body joints from a single depth image, using no temporal information. We take an object recognition approach, designing an intermediate body parts representation that maps the difficult pose estimation problem into a simpler p ..."

Face recognition: features versus templates

by Roberto Brunelli, Tomaso Poggio - IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence , 1993
"... Abstract-Over the last 20 years, several different techniques have been proposed for computer recognition of human faces. The purpose of this paper is to compare two simple but general strategies on a common database (frontal images of faces of 47 people: 26 males and 21 females, four images per per ..."

Application of Phylogenetic Networks in Evolutionary Studies

by Daniel H. Huson, David Bryant - SUBMITTED TO MBE 2005 , 2005
"... The evolutionary history of a set of taxa is usually represented by a phylogenetic tree, and this model has greatly facilitated the discussion and testing of hypotheses. However, it is well known that more complex evolutionary scenarios are poorly described by such models. Further, even when evoluti ..."

evolution proceeds in a tree-like manner, analysis of the data may not be best served by using methods that enforce a tree structure, but rather by a richer visualization of the data to evaluate its properties, at least as an essential first step. Thus, phylogenetic networks should be employed when

Hierarchical Models of Object Recognition in Cortex

by Maximilian Riesenhuber, Tomaso Poggio , 1999
"... The classical model of visual processing in cortex is a hierarchy of increasingly sophisticated representations, extending in a natural way the model of simple to complex cells of Hubel and Wiesel. Somewhat surprisingly, little quantitative modeling has been done in the last 15 years to explore th ..."

the biological feasibility of this class of models to explain higher level visual processing, such as object recognition. We describe a new hierarchical model that accounts well for this complex visual task, is consistent with several recent physiological experiments in inferotemporal cortex and makes testable

Representing Moving Images with Layers

by John Y.A. Wang, Edward H. Adelson , 1994
"... We describe a system for representing moving images with sets of overlapping layers. Each layer contains an intensity map that defines the additive values of each pixel, along with an alpha map that serves as a mask indicating the transparency. The layers are ordered in depth and they occlude each o ..."

High confidence visual recognition of persons by a test of statistical independence

by John G. Daugman - IEEE Trans. on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence , 1993
"... Abstruct- A method for rapid visual recognition of personal identity is described, based on the failure of a statistical test of independence. The most unique phenotypic feature visible in a person’s face is the detailed texture of each eye’s iris: An estimate of its statistical complexity in a samp ..."

Shape Matching and Object Recognition Using Shape Contexts

by Serge Belongie, Jitendra Malik, Jan Puzicha - IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence , 2001
"... We present a novel approach to measuring similarity between shapes and exploit it for object recognition. In our framework, the measurement of similarity is preceded by (1) solv- ing for correspondences between points on the two shapes, (2) using the correspondences to estimate an aligning transform ..."

Face Recognition Based on Fitting a 3D Morphable Model

by Volker Blanz, Thomas Vetter - IEEE Trans. Pattern Anal. Mach. Intell , 2003
"... Abstract—This paper presents a method for face recognition across variations in pose, ranging from frontal to profile views, and across a wide range of illuminations, including cast shadows and specular reflections. To account for these variations, the algorithm simulates the process of image format ..."

View-Based and Modular Eigenspaces for Face Recognition

by Alex Pentland, Baback Moghaddam, Thad Starner - IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COMPUTER VISION & PATTERN RECOGNITION , 1994

Accurate visual recognition is demonstrated using a database of o(10^3) faces. The problem of recognition under general viewing orientation is also explained. A view-based mul ..."
