Saccadic search with Gabor features applied to eye detection and real-time head tracking

Facial Feature Detection by Saccadic Exploration of the Gabor Decomposition

The Gabor decomposition is a ubiquitous tool in computer vision. Nevertheless, it is generally considered computationally demanding for active vision applications. We suggest an attention{driven approach to feature detection inspired by the human saccadic system. A dramatic speedup is achieved by computing the Gabor decomposition only on the points of a sparse retinotopic grid. An application t...

Real{time Head Tracking by Saccadic Exploration and Gabor Decomposition

3D Gabor Based Hyperspectral Anomaly Detection

Hyperspectral anomaly detection is one of the main challenging topics in both military and civilian fields. The spectral information contained in a hyperspectral cube provides a high ability for anomaly detection. In addition, the costly spatial information of adjacent pixels such as texture can also improve the discrimination between anomalous targets and background. Most studies miss the wort...

Facial Features detection by Saccadic Exploration of the Gabor decomposition and Support Vector Machines

Facial features detection is of primary importance to face authentication and recognition. In this paper, we present an attention{driven approach to eyes and mouth detection inspired by the human saccadic system. The algorithm is centred around a log{polar retinotopic grid that is used to sample the Gabor decomposition of the image. Detection is achieved by displacing the grid according to a sa...
