Expression-Invariant 3D Face Recognition
We present a novel 3D face recognition approach based on geometric invariants introduced by Elad and Kimmel. The key idea of the proposed algorithm is a representation of the facial surface, invariant to isome...

QML Blind Deconvolution: Asymptotic Analysis
Blind deconvolution is considered as a problem of quasi maximum likelihood (QML) estimation of the restoration kernel. Simple closed-form expressions for the asymptotic estimation error are derived. The asympt...

Blind Deconvolution Using the Relative Newton Method
We propose a relative optimization framework for quasi maximum likelihood blind deconvolution and the relative Newton method as its particular instance. Special Hessian structure allows its fast approximate co...

Blind Source Separation Using the Block-Coordinate Relative Newton Method
Presented here is a generalization of the modified relative Newton method, recently proposed in [1] for quasi-maximum likelihood blind source separation. Special structure of the Hessian matrix allows to perfo...

Optimal Sparse Representations for Blind Deconvolution of Images
The relative Newton algorithm, previously proposed for quasi maximum likelihood blind source separation and blind deconvolution of one-dimensional signals is generalized for blind deconvolution of images. Smoo...

Face Recognition from Facial Surface Metric
Recently, a 3D face recognition approach based on geometric invariant signatures, has been proposed. The key idea is a representation of the facial surface, invariant to isometric deformations, such as those r...

Isometric Embedding of Facial Surfaces into \(\mathbb{S}^{\rm 3}\)
The problem of isometry-invariant representation and comparison of surfaces is of cardinal importance in pattern recognition applications dealing with deformable objects. Particularly, in three-dimensional fac...

Three-Dimensional Face Recognition
An expression-invariant 3D face recognition approach is presented. Our basic assumption is that facial expressions can be modelled as isometries of the facial surface. This allows to construct expression-invar...

Matching Two-Dimensional Articulated Shapes Using Generalized Multidimensional Scaling
We present a theoretical and computational framework for matching of two-dimensional articulated shapes. Assuming that articulations can be modeled as near-isometries, we show an axiomatic construction of an a...

On Separation of Semitransparent Dynamic Images from Static Background
Presented here is the problem of recovering a dynamic image superimposed on a static background. Such a problem is ill-posed and may arise e.g. in imaging through semireflective media, in separation of an illu...

Robust Expression-Invariant Face Recognition from Partially Missing Data
Recent studies on three-dimensional face recognition proposed to model facial expressions as isometries of the facial surface. Based on this model, expression-invariant signatures of the face were constructed ...

Facetoface: An Isometric Model for Facial Animation
A geometric framework for finding intrinsic correspondence between animated 3D faces is presented. We model facial expressions as isometries of the facial surface and find the correspondence between two faces ...

Story of Cinderella
In this chapter, we address the question of what are the facial measures one could use in order to distinguish between people. Our starting point is the fact that the expressions of our face can, in most cases...

Paretian Similarity for Partial Comparison of Non-rigid Objects
In this paper, we address the problem of partial comparison of non-rigid objects. We introduce a new class of set-valued distances, related to the concept of Pareto optimality in economics. Such distances allo...

Regularized Partial Matching of Rigid Shapes
Matching of rigid shapes is an important problem in numerous applications across the boundary of computer vision, pattern recognition and computer graphics communities. A particularly challenging setting of th...

Topologically Constrained Isometric Embedding
Presented is an algorithm for nonlinear dimensionality reduction that uses both local(short) and global(long) distances in order to learn the intrinsic geometry of manifolds with complicated topology. Since ou...
