    • Face Verification Using Error Correcting Output Codes 

      Autor: Kittler, J.; Ghaderi, R.; Windeatt, T.; Matas, J.
      (IEEE, 2001)
      The error correcting output coding (ECOC) approach to classifier design decomposes a multi-class problem into a set of complementary two-class problems. We show how to apply the ECOC concept to automatic face verification, ...
    • Gradient based progressive probabilistic Hough transform 

      Autor: Galambos, C.; Kittler, J.; Matas, J.
      (IEEE/IET, 2001-06)
      The authors look at the benefits of exploiting gradient information to enhance the progressive probabilistic Hough transform (PPHT). It is shown that using the angle information in controlling the voting process and in ...
    • Hypothesis selection for scene interpretation using grammatical models of scene evolution 

      Autor: Young, R.; Kittler, J.; Matas, J.
      (IEEE, 1998-08)
      A major bottleneck in dynamic scene interpretation is the search that is required through a database to find a model that best matches the observed data. We show that the problem can be alleviated if the object model ...
    • Learning Support Vectors for Face Verification and Recognition 

      Autor: Jonsson, K.; Matas, J.; Kittler, J.; Li, Y. P.
      (IEEE, 2000)
      The paper studies support vector machines (SVM) in the context of face verification and recognition. Our study supports the hypothesis that the SVM approach is able to extract the relevant discriminatory information from ...

      (IEEE, 1999-07)
      The paper presents the European ACTS project “M2VTS” which stands for Multi Modal Verification for Teleservices and Security Applications. The primary goal of this project is to address the issue of secured access to local ...
    • Progressive Probabilistic Hough Transform for line detection 

      Autor: Galambos, C.; Matas, J.; Kittler, J.
      (IEEE, 1999)
      We present a novel Hough Transform algorithm referred to as Progressive Probabilistic Hough Transform (PPHT). Unlike the Probabilistic HT where Standard HT is performed on a pre-selected fraction of input points, PPHT ...
    • Recognition Using Labelled Objects 

      Autor: Soh, L. M.; Matas, J.; Kittler, J.
      (IEEE, 1998-08)
      General object recognition is a difficult problem. We (1997) proposed a solution for object recognition in an unconstrained environment. We simplified the recognition problem by attaching a special planar pattern on objects ...
