Scaling Up a Metric Learning Algorithm for Image Recognition and Representation
2008
Maximally Collapsing Metric Learning is a recently proposed algorithm to estimate a metric matrix from labelled data. The purpose of this work is to extend this approach by considering a set of landmark points which can in principle reduce the cost per iteration in one order of magnitude. The proposal is in fact a generalized version of the original algorithm that can be applied to larger amounts of higher dimensional data. Exhaustive experimentation shows that very similar behavior at a lower cost is obtained for a wide range of the number of landmark points used.
Automatic landmark detection and 3D Face data extraction
2017
Abstract This paper contributes to 3D facial synthesis by presenting a novel method for parameterization using Landmark Point detection. The approach presented aims at improving facial recognition even in varying facial expressions, and missing data in 3D facial models. As such, the prime objective was to develop an automatically embedded process that can detect any frontal face in 3D face recognition systems, with face segmentation and surface curvature information. Using the hybrid interpolation method, experiments on facial landmarks were performed on 4950 images from Face Recognition Grand Challenge database (FRGC). Distinctive facial landmarks from the nose–tips, Limits mouth and two e…
Automatic detection and classification of retinal vascular landmarks
2014
The main contribution of this paper is introducing a method to distinguish between different landmarks of the retina: bifurcations and crossings. The methodology may help in differentiating between arteries and veins and is useful in identifying diseases and other special pathologies, too. The method does not need any special skills, thus it can be assimilated to an automatic way for pinpointing landmarks; moreover it gives good responses for very small vessels. A skeletonized representation, taken out from the segmented binary image (obtained through a preprocessing step), is used to identify pixels with three or more neighbors. Then, the junction points are classified into bifurcations or…
