Gait Analysis for Classification
(2003-06-26)
This thesis describes a representation of gait appearance for the purpose of person identification and classification. This gait representation is based on simple localized image features such as moments extracted from ...
Learning from Incomplete Data
(1995-01-24)
Real-world learning tasks often involve high-dimensional data sets with complex patterns of missing features. In this paper we review the problem of learning from incomplete data from two statistical perspectives---the ...
Cooperative Physics of Fly Swarms: An Emergent Behavior
(1995-04-11)
We have simulated the behavior of several artificial flies, interacting visually with each other. Each fly is described by a simple tracking system (Poggio and Reichardt, 1973; Land and Collett, 1974) which summarizes ...
Investigating shape representation in area V4 with HMAX: Orientation and Grating selectivities
(2003-09-08)
The question of how shape is represented is of central interest to understanding visual processing in cortex. While tuning properties of the cells in early part of the ventral visual stream, thought to be responsible for ...
Face processing in humans is compatible with a simple shape-based model of vision
(2004-03-05)
Understanding how the human visual system recognizes objects is one of the key challenges in neuroscience. Inspired by a large body of physiological evidence (Felleman and Van Essen, 1991; Hubel and Wiesel, 1962; Livingstone ...
Selecting Relevant Genes with a Spectral Approach
(2004-01-27)
Array technologies have made it possible to record simultaneously the expression pattern of thousands of genes. A fundamental problem in the analysis of gene expression data is the identification of highly relevant genes ...
On the difficulty of feature-based attentional modulations in visual object recognition: A modeling study.
(2004-01-14)
Numerous psychophysical experiments have shown an important role for attentional modulations in vision. Behaviorally, allocation of attention can improve performance in object detection and recognition tasks. At the neural ...
Evaluation of sets of oriented and non-oriented receptive fields as local descriptors
(2004-03-24)
Local descriptors are increasingly used for the task of object recognition because of their perceived robustness with respect to occlusions and to global geometrical deformations. We propose a performance criterion for a ...
Rotation Invariant Object Recognition from One Training Example
(2004-04-27)
Local descriptors are increasingly used for the task of object recognition because of their perceived robustness with respect to occlusions and to global geometrical deformations. Such a descriptor--based on a set of ...
Direction Estimation of Pedestrian from Images
(2003-08-27)
The capability of estimating the walking direction of people would be useful in many applications such as those involving autonomous cars and robots. We introduce an approach for estimating the walking direction of people ...
