There are many applications within the agricultural, food and medical sciences where it is required to detect targets that absorb X-rays in a similar way to the background material and these are therefore not easy to detect ...

In this paper, we make a detailed study of two rigid-motion constraints. The importance of these two constraints is twofold: first, they reveal the inherent relationship between the three-dimensional-two-dimensional (3-D-2-D) ...

In this paper, we describe the evaluation of the effects of mammographic semantic information in breast cancer diagnoses. A brief description of relations between semantic information and image features are given. We ...

The aim of our project is to provide a real-time dynamic passive profiling technique which will assist as a decision aid to Border Control Agencies, which has the potential to improve the hit rates. This paper discusses a ...

This paper formalizes overlapping free form shape registration as a minimization problem, which minimizes a weighted sum of registration errors of tentative correspondences with the weights subject to boundary conditions. ...

The problem of automated visual surveillance has spawned a lively research area, with 2005 seeing three conferences or workshops and special issues of two major journals devoted to the topic. These alone are responsible ...

In this thesis, we present a new image completion method that automates the filling in of holes left by the removal of undesired areas in images so that the final output image is visually plausible. The reconstruction of ...

Automatic range image registration and matching is an attractive but unresolved problem in both the machine vision and pattern recognition literature. Since automatic range image registration and matching is inherently a ...

this paper proposes a method to detect the facial Action Units (AUs) and introduce an automatic measurement in predicting the intensity scores of each AU in near-to-frontal face image sequences. To our knowledge, this is ...
