Research on content-based image retrieval (CBIR) has been under development for decades, and numerous methods have been competing to extract the most discriminative features for improved representation of the image content. Recently, deep…

Beneath the uncertain primitive visual features of face images are the primitive intrinsic structural patterns (PISP) essential for characterizing a sample face discriminative attributes. It is on this basis that this paper presents a…

This paper proposes a new technique for automatic face recognition using integrated peaks of the Hough transformed significant blocks of the binary gradient image. In this approach firstly the gradient of an image is calculated and a…

Since the convolutional neural network (CNN) is be- lieved to find right features for a given problem, the study of hand-crafted features is somewhat neglected these days. In this paper, we show that finding an appropriate feature for the…

This work presents an analysis of the discriminators used in Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) for Video. We show that unconstrained video discriminator architectures induce a loss surface with high curvature which make optimisation…

This paper introduces a novel convolution method, called generative convolution (GConv), which is simple yet effective for improving the generative adversarial network (GAN) performance. Unlike the standard convolution, GConv first selects…

In this paper, a copy-move forgery detection method based on Convolutional Kernel Network is proposed. Different from methods based on conventional hand-crafted features, Convolutional Kernel Network is a kind of data-driven local…

There is an abundant literature on face detection due to its important role in many vision applications. Since Viola and Jones proposed the first real-time AdaBoost based face detector, Haar-like features have been adopted as the method of…

Feature descriptors of point clouds are used in several applications, such as registration and part segmentation of 3D point clouds. Learning discriminative representations of local geometric features is unquestionably the most important…

2-D complex Gabor filtering has found numerous applications in the fields of computer vision and image processing. Especially, in some applications, it is often needed to compute 2-D complex Gabor filter bank consisting of the 2-D complex…

To leverage deep learning for image aesthetics assessment, one critical but unsolved issue is how to seamlessly incorporate the information of image aspect ratios to learn more robust models. In this paper, an adaptive fractional dilated…

In this paper we describe a procedure to reduce the size of the input feature vector. A complex pattern recognition problem like face recognition involves huge dimension of input feature vector. To reduce that dimension here we have used…

Despite the remarkable success of deep learning, an optimal convolution operation on point clouds remains elusive owing to their irregular data structure. Existing methods mainly focus on designing an effective continuous kernel function…

Facial Expression Recognition (FER) is vital for understanding interpersonal communication. However, existing classification methods often face challenges such as vulnerability to noise, imbalanced datasets, overfitting, and generalization…

Because of high dimensionality, correlation among covariates, and noise contained in data, dimension reduction (DR) techniques are often employed to the application of machine learning algorithms. Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Linear…

Owe to the rapid development of deep neural network (DNN) techniques and the emergence of large scale face databases, face recognition has achieved a great success in recent years. During the training process of DNN, the face features and…

Heterogeneous Face Recognition (HFR) refers to matching face images captured in different domains, such as thermal to visible images (VIS), sketches to visible images, near-infrared to visible, and so on. This is particularly useful in…

Random convolution kernel transform (Rocket) is a fast, efficient, and novel approach for time series feature extraction using a large number of independent randomly initialized 1-D convolution kernels of different configurations. The…

In set-based face recognition, we aim to compute the most discriminative descriptor from an unbounded set of images and videos showing a single person. A discriminative descriptor balances two policies when aggregating information from a…
