We consider two novel representations and feature extraction schemes for automatic recognition of emotion related facial expressions. In one scheme facial landmark points are tracked over successive video frames using an effective detector and tracker to extract landmark trajectories. Features are extracted from landmark trajectories using Independent Component Analysis (ICA) method. In the alt...

Learning domain-invariant features is of vital importance to unsupervised domain adaptation, where classifiers trained on the source domain need to be adapted to a different target domain for which no labeled examples are available. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for learning such features. The central idea is to exploit the existence of landmarks, which are a subset of labeled data...

Shape correspondence, which aims at accurately identifying corresponding landmarks from a given population of shape instances, is a very challenging step in constructing a statistical shape model such as the Point Distribution Model. Many shape correspondence methods are primarily focused on closedsurface shape correspondence. The authors of this chapter discuss the 3D Landmark Sliding method o...

This paper describes a method for the identification of moving objects by a team of robots based on kinematic information. The objective is to be able to identify moving objects observed by different robots without using specific landmarks. Our method uses a bayesian approach and is based on the matching of maps of dynamic objects built by the members of the team. These maps contain the relativ...

this study was conducted to evaluate the morphological responses of two different species including capoeta gracilis and alburnoides eichwaldii due to construction of the tarik dam in the sefidrud river using geometric morphometric technique. for this purpose, a total of 80 specimens of c. gracilis and 60 specimens of a. eichwaldii were collected from upstream and down-stream of dam. the left s...

Qualitative reasoning about physical processes is based on the notion of "quantity space" [Forbus, 1984a, 1984b]. The question is how to construct a quantity space for a particular physical process. One line of research is to establish a set of so called "landmark points" by selecting some values of the continuous physical parameters characterizing the physical process under consideration [Kuip...
