Current person re-identification (re-id) methods assume that (1) pre-labelled training data are available for every camera pair, (2) the gallery size for re-identification is moderate. Both assumptions scale poorly to real-world applications when camera network size increases and gallery size becomes large. Human verification of automatic model ranked re-id results becomes inevitable. In this w...

An online facial expression recognition system based on personalized galleries is presented. This system is built on the framework of the PersonSpotter system, which is able to track and detect the face of a person in a live video sequence. By utilizing the recognition method of Elastic Graph Matching, the most similar person whose images are stored in the gallery can be found, then the persona...

A model coupling a three dimensional gas liquid compositional Darcy flow in a fractured porous medium, and a one dimensional compositional free gas flow is presented. The coupling conditions at the interface between the gallery and the porous medium account for the molar normal fluxes continuity for each component, the gas liquid thermodynamical equilibrium, the gas pressure continuity and the ...

Facial landmark detection in images obtained under varying acquisition conditions is a challenging problem. In this paper, we present a personalized landmark localization method that leverages information available from 2D/3D gallery data. To realize a robust correspondence between gallery and probe key points, we present several innovative solutions, including: (i) a hierarchical DAISY descrip...

We present results from the optimization of a reidentification process using two sets of biometric data obtained from the Civilian American and European Surface Anthropometry Resource Project (CAESAR) database. The datasets contain real measurements of features for 2378 individuals in a standing (43 features) and seated (16 features) position. A genetic algorithm (GA) was used to search a large...

The Wellington tree weta, Hemideina crassidens, is a harem-polygynous nocturnal insect whose males defend and mate groups of females residing in cavities in trees. In this study I examined sexual differences in gallery use (number of galleries occupied per unit time), distance travelled per night and activity patterns after sunset. In addition, I investigated how gallery size affected each of t...

The Art Gallery Problem is the problem of determining the number of observers necessary to cover an art gallery room such that every point is seen by at least one observer. This problem is well known and has a linear solution for the 2 dimensional case, but little is known in the 3-D case. In this paper we present a polynomial time solution for the 3-D version of the Art Gallery Problem. Becaus...

The accuracy of a biometric matching algorithm relies on its ability to better separate score distributions for genuine and impostor subjects. However, capture conditions (e.g. illumination or acquisition devices) as well as factors related to the subject at hand (e.g. pose or occlusions) may even take a generally accurate algorithm to provide incorrect answers. Techniques for face classificati...

celebrated for her meticulous attention to detail, form, and color. Her collection of 833 paintings, which portray more than 900 species of plants, comprises her life’s work and is on permanent display in the Marianne North gallery at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, United Kingdom. Because North painted with oils, rather than with watercolors, and because she predates color photography, her bod...
