Many video based face recognition rely on simple background modeling and coarse alignment strategies for segmentation. This work presents a face recognition from video framework based on using active appearance models (AAM) to achieve accurate face segmentation and consistent shape free representation across a video sequence. The segmentation provided by the AAM can be effectively normalized (morphed) to a mean shape. The resulting sub-image can then be delivered to conventional face recognition from video algorithms for robust classification.

The method uses the appearance changes in an image sequence as a temporal feature and matches two or more sequences by evaluating the correlation among their temporal features. We show through several experiments that the method shows good performance of synchronization in spite of its simplicity. We also present a method for synchronization in sub-frame accuracy and also for adaptively selecting regions suitable for deriving the temporal features.

This approach consists of two phases. One is the phase that constitutes a crease pattern based on a sketch. Another is the phase that constructs a virtual origami model from the obtained crease pattern. The crease pattern is a set of line segments in an unfolded sheet of paper and often designed by origami design methods. When an origami model is folded from a crease pattern, faces in the crease pattern may be transformed into the same plane and some inconsistent objects may be represented. In order to construct feasible (fold-able) objects, we need to dispose the faces on the same plane consistently. Therefore, in this paper, a method for analyzing overlap order of faces based on simulated annealing is proposed. Furthermore, we show some examples of 3D objects constructed by our method.

In the PPRLM approach, we have modified the system by using four different language models with different discounting methods, including the linear, absolute, good-turning and Witten-Bell.

This paper presents a novel approach to the localization problem based on recursive neural networks (RNNs), In particular, a recursive learning paradigm is proposed to process directed acyclic graphs with labeled edges, and to realize mappings between graphs which are isomorph, i.e. that share the same topology of the links. The RNN model, that assumes a graph-based representation of images, uses a state transition function that depends on the edge labels and is independent from both the number and the order of the children of each node. Moreover, the presence of targets attached to the internal nodes guarantees a fast learning, particularly sensitive to the local features of the graph.
