Context-Aided Human Recognition - Clustering
نویسندگان
چکیده
Context information other than faces, such as clothes, picturetaken-time and some logical constraints, can provide rich cues for recognizing people. This aim of this work is to automatically cluster pictures according to person’s identity by exploiting as much context information as possible in addition to faces. Toward that end, a clothes recognition algorithm is first developed, which uses color and texture information and is effective for different types of clothes (smooth or highly textured). Clothes recognition results are integrated with face recognition to provide similarity measurements for clustering. Picture-taken-time is used when combining faces and clothes, and the cases of faces or clothes missing are handled in a principle way. A spectral clustering algorithm which can enforce hard constraints (positive and negative) is presented to incorporate logic-based cues (e.g. two persons in one picture must be different individuals) and user feedback. Experiments on real consumer photos show the effectiveness of the algorithm.

Context-dependent modeling is a widely used technique for better phone modeling in continuous speech recognition. While different types of context-dependent models have been used, triphones have been known as the most effective ones. In this paper, a Maximum a Posteriori (MAP) estimation approach has been used to estimate the parameters of the untied triphone model set used in data-driven clust...

With the rapid emergence of 3D applications and virtual environments in computer systems; the need for a new type of interaction device arises. This is because the traditional devices such as mouse, keyboard, and joystick become inefficient and cumbersome within these virtual environments. In other words, evolution of user interfaces shapes the change in the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). In...
