Capturing and rendering life-like hair is particularly challenging due to its fine geometric structure, the complex physical interaction and its non-trivial visual appearance.Yet, hair is a critical component for believable avatars. In this…
We present a statistical model for $3$D human faces in varying expression, which decomposes the surface of the face using a wavelet transform, and learns many localized, decorrelated multilinear models on the resulting coefficients. Using…
Many modern video-based human action recognition (HAR) approaches use 2D skeleton as the intermediate representation in their prediction pipelines. Despite overall encouraging results, these approaches still struggle in many common scenes,…

Facial expression is the most natural means for human beings to communicate their emotions. Most facial expression analysis studies consider the case of acted expressions. Spontaneous facial expression recognition is significantly more…

The aim of this paper is to give a wavelet series representation of Linear Multifractional Stable Motion (LMSM in brief), which is more explicit than that introduced in (Ayache & Hamonier 2012). Instead of using Daubechies wavelet, which is…
Local descriptors used in face recognition are robust in a sense that these descriptors perform well in varying pose, illumination and lighting conditions. Accuracy of these descriptors depends on the precision of mapping the relationship…
