Bag-of-Visual-Features (BoVF) representations have achieved a great success when used for object recognition, mainly because of their robustness to several kinds of variations and occlusion. Recently, a number of BoVF approaches has been proposed also for recognition of human actions from videos. One important issue that arises when using BoVF for videos is how to take dynamic information into account,...
The strategies for the preservation of historical documents can include their digitization, which is an effective way to make them publicly available while preventing degradation of the original sources. The Arquivo Publico Mineiro (APM), the Archives of the State of Minas Gerais, has a collection of historical photographs from Brazil, and some of them have been digitized. The availability of digital...
The ability to filter improper content from multimedia sources based on visual content has important applications, since text-based filters are clearly insufficient against erroneous and/or malicious associations between text and actual content. In this paper, we investigate a method for detection of nudity in videos based on a bag-of-visual-features representation for frames and an associated voting...
In this work, we propose a 2D-PCA based face recognizer as a semi-automatic tool for helping indexing people in historical photographs. In the proposed recognizer we cope with the scarcity of training samples and the lack of precision of the detector using a training scheme in two stages. The first stage uses an external face database to compute an average face that is used as a reference either at...
