A Note on Object Class Representation and Categorical Perception
(1999-12-17)
We present a novel scheme ("Categorical Basis Functions", CBF) for object class representation in the brain and contrast it to the "Chorus of Prototypes" scheme recently proposed by Edelman. The power and flexibility ...
Learning-Based Approach to Real Time Tracking and Analysis of Faces
(1999-09-23)
This paper describes a trainable system capable of tracking faces and facialsfeatures like eyes and nostrils and estimating basic mouth features such as sdegrees of openness and smile in real time. In developing this ...
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 ...
A Trainable Object Detection System: Car Detection in Static Images
(1999-10-13)
This paper describes a general, trainable architecture for object detection that has previously been applied to face and peoplesdetection with a new application to car detection in static images. Our technique is a ...
Model-Based Matching by Linear Combinations of Prototypes
(1996-12-01)
We describe a method for modeling object classes (such as faces) using 2D example images and an algorithm for matching a model to a novel image. The object class models are "learned'' from example images that we call ...
Bagging Regularizes
(2002-03-01)
Intuitively, we expect that averaging --- or bagging --- different regressors with low correlation should smooth their behavior and be somewhat similar to regularization. In this note we make this intuition precise. ...
Biologically Plausible Neural Model for the Recognition of Biological Motion and Actions
(2002-08-01)
The visual recognition of complex movements and actions is crucial for communication and survival in many species. Remarkable sensitivity and robustness of biological motion perception have been demonstrated in ...
Predictive identification of alternative events conserved in human and mouse
(2004-09-30)
Alternative pre-messenger RNA splicing affects a majority of human genes and plays important roles in development and disease. Alternative splicing (AS) events conserved since the divergence of human and mouse are likely ...
Ultra-fast Object Recognition from Few Spikes
(2005-07-06)
Understanding the complex brain computations leading to object recognition requires quantitatively characterizing the information represented in inferior temporal cortex (IT), the highest stage of the primate visual stream. ...
Perceptual Evaluation of Video-Realistic Speech
(2003-02-28)
abstract With many visual speech animation techniques now available, there is a clear need for systematic perceptual evaluation schemes. We describe here our scheme and its application to a new video-realistic ...
