Change in viewpoint is one of the major factors for variation in object appearance across different images. Thus, view-invariant object recognition is a challenging and important image understanding task. In this paper, we propose a method…
Face clustering is a useful tool for applications like automatic face annotation and retrieval. The main challenge is that it is difficult to cluster images from the same identity with different face poses, occlusions, and image quality.…
Object detection or localization is an incremental step in progression from coarse to fine digital image inference. It not only provides the classes of the image objects, but also provides the location of the image objects which have been…
Recent breakthroughs in machine learning especially artificial intelligence shift the paradigm of wireless communication towards intelligence radios. One of their core operations is automatic modulation recognition (AMR). Existing research…
Visual place recognition tasks often encounter significant challenges in landmark detection due to the presence of irrelevant objects such as humans, cars, and trees, despite the remarkable progress achieved by previous models, especially…
Visual place recognition is a fundamental capability for the localization of mobile robots. It places image retrieval in the practical context of physical agents operating in a physical world. It is an active field of research and many…
Much of the literature on robotic perception focuses on the visual modality. Vision provides a global observation of a scene, making it broadly useful. However, in the domain of robotic manipulation, vision alone can sometimes prove…
Low discrepancy point sets have been widely used as a tool to approximate continuous objects by discrete ones in numerical processes, for example in numerical integration. Following a century of research on the topic, it is still unclear…
Skin distortion is a long standing challenge in fingerprint matching, which causes false non-matches. Previous studies have shown that the recognition rate can be improved by estimating the distortion field from a distorted fingerprint and…
Corneal reflection (glint) detection plays an important role in pupil-corneal reflection (P-CR) eye tracking, but in practice it is often handled as heuristics embedded within larger systems, making reproducibility difficult across hardware…

We introduce a new fixed-length representation of fingerprint minutiae, for use in template protection. It is similar to the `spectral minutiae' representation of Xu et al. but is based on coordinate differences between pairs of minutiae.…
Future missions, including the Habitable Worlds Observatory, will aim to image Earth-like exoplanets around Sun-like stars in reflected light. Determining whether an exoplanet is in the habitable zone of its star may be difficult in…
We present an algorithm implemented in the astroalign Python module for image registration in astronomy. Our module does not rely on WCS information and instead matches 3-point asterisms (triangles) on the images to find the most accurate…
Detecting objects and estimating their pose remains as one of the major challenges of the computer vision research community. There exists a compromise between localizing the objects and estimating their viewpoints. The detector ideally…
