    摘要: Features are extracted from a test and reference image to generate a test and reference record. Each feature has a location, and orientation, and furthermore, the features of the reference records also have associated weights. The features of the test record are approximately aligned with the features of the reference record. Then, differences between the locations and orientations of the features of the reference record and the features of the test record are measured, and the weights of all features of the reference record that are less than a predetermined difference when compared with the features of the test record are summed to determine a similarity score that the test record matches the reference record.

    摘要: A method generates a three-dimensional, bi-linear, illumination model for arbitrary faces. A large number of images are acquired of many different faces. For each face, multiple images are acquired with varying poses and varying illumination. A three-mode singular value decomposition is applied to the images to determine parameters of the model. The model can be fit to a probe image of an unknown face. Then, the model can be compared with models of a gallery of images of unknown faces to recognize the face in the probe image.

    摘要: A method maximizes a candidate solution to a cardinality-constrained combinatorial optimization problem of sparse principal component analysis. An approximate method has as input a covariance matrix A, a candidate solution, and a sparsity parameter k. A variational renormalization for the candidate solution vector x with regards to the eigenvalue structure of the covariance matrix A and the sparsity parameter k is then performed by means of a sub-matrix eigenvalue decomposition of A to obtain a variance maximized k-sparse eigenvector x that is the best possible solution. Another method solves the problem by means of a nested greedy search technique that includes a forward and backward pass. An exact solution to the problem initializes a branch-and-bound search with an output of a greedy solution.

      摘要: A method recognizes a face in an image. A morphable model having shape and pose parameters is fitted to a face in an image to construct a three-dimensional model of the face. Texture is extracted from the face in the image using the three-dimensional model. The shape and texture are projected into a bilinear illumination model to generate illumination bases for the face in the image. The illumination bases for the face in the image are compared to illumination bases of each of a plurality of bilinear illumination models of known faces to identify the face in the image.
