The technique is a constructive curve detection approach, constrained by collections of estimates of the magnetic field's orientation. Its effectiveness is evaluated through experiments on synthetic and real coronal images.","PeriodicalId":335842,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Pattern Recognition, 2004.

This paper proposes a new shape-based image retrieval method based on concavity trees. The proposed method has two main components. The first is an efficient (in terms of space and time) contour-based concavity tree extraction algorithm. The second component is a recursive concavity-tree matching algorithm that returns a distance between two trees. We demonstrate that concavity trees are able to boost the retrieval performance of two feature sets by at least 15% when tested on a database of 625 silhouette images.","PeriodicalId":335842,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Pattern Recognition, 2004.

Due to self-occlusion an individual range image provides only a partial model of an object surface. Therefore multiple range images from differing viewpoints must be captured and merged to extend the surface area that can be captured. In our approach range images are decomposed into subset patches and then evaluated in a \"confidence competition\". Redundant patches are removed whilst winning patches are merged to complete a single plausible mesh that represents the acquired object surface.","PeriodicalId":335842,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Pattern Recognition, 2004.

Recognition is performed by probabilistically fusing successive observations with the current belief state of the system. Based on the current belief state, the next viewpoint is chosen to maximize the expected discriminability of the current competing hypotheses. Experiments on a difficult database of aircraft models show that this approach achieves comparable recognition performance to the widely used information theoretic approaches at a much lower computational cost.","PeriodicalId":335842,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Pattern Recognition, 2004.

We present a texture-based approach that copes with these problems in addition to resolution variation. A set of exemplar poses are learned from subsampled example images of the target object, creating a set of multi-resolution template kernels which when convolved with the image respond suitably. This technique may then be used in established tracking algorithms (e.g. CONDENSATION [Isard, M et al., 1996]). We demonstrate the technique in two domains, and suggest a Markov approach using it to model behaviour.","PeriodicalId":335842,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Pattern Recognition, 2004.

As a specific application in video based face recognition, the best shot selection problem is discussed, which results in a real-time system that can automatically select the most frontal face from a video sequence.","PeriodicalId":335842,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Pattern Recognition, 2004.
