Graphical passwords are an authentication method that uses pictures as passwords instead of using alphanumeric characters. We propose a graphical password method which is difficult to steal original pass-image by using characteristics of human vision system. In our method, we combine low frequency components of a decoy picture with high frequency components of a pass-image. It is easy for legitimate...
We present a system that detects human falls in the home environment, distinguishing them from competing noise, by using only the audio signal from a single far-field microphone. The proposed system models each fall or noise segment by means of a Gaussian mixture model (GMM) supervector, whose Euclidean distance measures the pairwise difference between audio segments. A support vector machine built...
Recent studies in patch-based Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) approaches for face age estimation present promising results. We propose using a hidden Markov model (HMM) supervector to represent face image patches, to improve from the previous GMM supervector approach by capturing the spatial structure of human faces and loosening the assumption of identical face patch distribution within a face image...
Emotive audio-visual avatars are virtual computer agents which have the potential of improving the quality of human-machine interaction and human-human communication significantly. However, the understanding of human communication has not yet advanced to the point where it is possible to make realistic avatars that demonstrate interactions with natural-sounding emotive speech and realistic-looking...
