The approximation of nonlinear kernels via linear feature maps has recently gained interest due to their applications in reducing the training and testing time of kernel-based learning algorithms. Current random projection methods avoid the curse of dimensionality by embedding the nonlinear feature space into a low dimensional Euclidean space to create nonlinear kernels. We introduce a Layered Random...
A novel method, Stochastically Acquired Photoplethysmo-gram for Heart rate Inference in Realistic Environments (SAPPHIRE), is proposed for robust remote heart rate measurement through broadband video. A set of stochastically sampled points from the cheek region is tracked and used to construct corresponding time series observations via skin erythema transforms. From these observations, a photo-plethysmogram...
Markov random fields (MRFs) and conditional random fields (CRFs) are influential tools in image modeling, particularly for applications such as image segmentation. Local MRFs and CRFs utilize local nodal interactions when modeling, leading to excessive smoothness on boundaries (i.e., the short-boundary bias problem). Recently, the concept of fully connected conditional random fields with stochastic...
The reconstruction of high dynamic range (HDR) images via conventional camera systems and low dynamic range (LDR) images is a growing field of research in image acquisition. The radiance map associated with the HDR image of a scene is typically computed using multiple images of the same scene captured at different exposures (i.e., bracketed LDR imzages). This approach, though inexpensive, is sensitive...
Local saliency models are a cornerstone in image processing and computer vision, used in a wide variety of applications ranging from keypoint detection and feature extraction, to image matching and image representation. However, current models exhibit difficulties in achieving consistent results under varying, non-ideal illumination conditions. In this paper, a novel texture-illumination guided energy...
