In this paper, we investigate a novel reconfigurable part-based model, namely And-Or graph model, to recognize object shapes in images. Our proposed model consists of four layers: leaf-nodes at the bottom are local classifiers for detecting contour fragments; or-nodes above the leaf-nodes function as the switches to activate their child leaf-nodes, making the model reconfigurable during inference;...
Gender classification of depth images is a challenging problem, most research work attempted to use shape information to solve this problem in the past literature. In this work, we propose a new fusion scheme for gender classification using both texture and shape features. A new ensemble scheme is advocated to combine texture and shape feature at the feature level. To evaluate the performance of our...
Pixel-domain analysis methods are widely adopted in background modeling, some of which are not only concerned by academia but also coming into view of industry. However, as the increasing data volume of video, how to process and analysis videos in a fast and effective way has still been an intractable problem in practical applications. Under this circumstance, surveillance video analysis in the compressed...
This paper proposes a simple yet effective method to learn the hierarchical object shape model consisting of local contour fragments, which represents a category of shapes in the form of an And-Or tree. This model extends the traditional hierarchical tree structures by introducing the “switch” variables (i.e. the or-nodes) that explicitly specify production rules to capture shape variations. We thus...
Recently, we have proposed a handwriting Chinese character database HIT-OR3C. Though it has been introduced in detail, to date, it has not been evaluated by any handwriting recognition method. To help the researchers use this database for algorithm evaluation, we propose the structure of HIT-OR3C database. Moreover, we evaluate the OR3C database with a series of experiments using state-of-the-art...
