The authors present a real-time face tracker. The system has achieved a rate of 30+
frames/second using an HP-9000 workstation with a frame grabber and a Canon VC-Cl …

Normalized cross correlation (NCC) has been used extensively for many machine vision
applications, but the traditional normalized correlation operation does not meet speed …

An expression-invariant 3D face recognition approach is presented. Our basic assumption is
that facial expressions can be modelled as isometries of the facial surface. This allows to …

We present a component-based method and two global methods for face recognition and
evaluate them with respect to robustness against pose changes. In the component system …

This paper studies a statistical skin-color model and its adaptation. It is revealed that (1)
human skin colors cluster in a small region in a color space;(2) the variance of a skin color …

In this paper, the generalized projection function (GPF) is defined. Both the integral
projection function (IPF) and the variance projection function (VPF) can be viewed as special …

A classical problem in matrix computations is the efficient and reliable approximation of a
given matrix by a matrix of lower rank. The truncated singular value decomposition (SVD) is …

This paper presents a novel reconfigurable framework for training Convolutional Neural
Networks (CNNs). The proposed framework is based on reconfiguring a streaming datapath …

An algorithm for locating quasi-frontal views of human faces in cluttered scenes is
presented. The algorithm works by coupling a set of local feature detectors with a statistical …

Attention is commonly thought to be important for managing the limited resources available
in sensory areas of the neocortex. Here we present an alternative view that attention arises …
