Generating photo-realistic images from multiple style sketches is one of challenging tasks in image synthesis with important applications such as facial composite for suspects. While machine learning techniques have been applied for solving this problem, the requirement of collecting sketch and face photo image pairs would limit the use of the learned model for rendering sketches of different styles...
Cross-resolution face recognition tackles the problem of matching face images with different resolutions. Although state-of-the-art convolutional neural network (CNN) based methods have reported promising performances on standard face recognition problems, such models cannot sufficiently describe images with resolution different from those seen during training, and thus cannot solve the above task...
We propose a new pretreatment for pedestrian detection with convolutional networks. It is widely known that the phenomenon of overlapping feature distribution is common, which leads to overfitting problem. We present a method that divide one category that have overlapping distributed features into multi-subcategories. By this means smooth boundaries can be easily found to separate different subcategories,...
This research proposes a novel Bayesian sparse representation (BSR) method along with extracting facial parameters of SIFT to create sparse dictionaries, which are invariant to rotation, scale, and shift. By using K-means and information theory, a new dictionary called extended dictionary is developed. Compared with conventional orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP) algorithm, the proposed system that...
Feature point detection is an important pre-processing step for quantitative evaluation of facial paralysis. Since the conventional methods such as active shape model (ASM) or active appearance model (AAM) are trained by using normal face and they are not possible to detect the feature points accurately for the face with paralysis. In this paper, we propose an automatic and accurate feature point...
Face Hallucination is, one of a learning-based super-resolution technique that can reconstruct a high-resolution image using only one low-resolution image. However, there are often some detailed high-frequency components of the reconstructed image that cannot be recovered using this method. In this study, we proposed a high-frequency compensated face hallucination method for enhancing reconstruction...
Incremental principal component analysis (IPCA) has been of great interest in computer vision and machine learning. In this paper, we introduce a new incremental learning procedure for principal component analysis (PCA). The proposed method can keep an accurate track of the mean of the data, and can deal with a set of new observed data in batch each time in subspace updating. Furthermore, a weighting...
The matrix based data representation has been recognized to be effective for face recognition because it can deal with the undersampled problem. One of the most popular algorithms, the two dimensional linear discriminant analysis (2DLDA), has been identified to be effective to encode the discriminative information for training matrix represented samples. However, 2DLDA does not converge in the training...
At present there are many methods that could deal well with frontal view face recognition when there is sufficient number of representative training samples. There into, subspace learning method such as principal component analysis (PCA), independent component analysis (ICA), linear discriminant analysis (LDA) are a very hot research topic in this field. However, in some face recognition system, the...
