Real-time human detection for surveillance applications by Hoe, Qi Xiang

“…The overall accuracy has improved with the enhancement of using additional feature of magnitude inclusive for the HOG computation and further enhanced with the aid of additional features of magnitude inclusive and limitation of magnitude for the HOG computation. Furthermore, segmentation has been performed on the head and body of the human figure for the purpose of system integration with the biometrics’ description. …”

Cats and dogs by Parkhi, OM, Vedaldi, A, Zisserman, A, lawahar, CV

“…Fitting the model involves automatically segmenting the animal in the image. Second, we compare two classification approaches: a hierarchical one, in which a pet is first assigned to the cat or dog family and then to a breed, and a flat one, in which the breed is obtained directly. …”

Automated location matching in movies by Schaffalitzky, F, Zisserman, A

“…The local spatial support of the features means that segmentation of the frame (e.g., into foreground/background) is not required, and partial occlusion is tolerated. …”

Missing links in The China Model by Li, Chenyang

“…We should not take this book as an apologetics for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) even though it offers both positive and negative assessments of the Chinese communist regime, as any fair-minded work should. There is a tendency among scholars to avoid discussing certain topics in order not to be perceived as politically motivated to help governments with a less than commendable reputation. …”
