	abstract = {In this paper, we describe a remote face database which has been acquired in an unconstrained outdoor environment. The face images in this database suffer from variations due to blur, poor illumination, pose, and occlusion. It is well known that many state-of-the-art still image-based face recognition algorithms work well, when constrained (frontal, well illuminated, high-resolution, sharp, and complete) face images are presented. In this paper, we evaluate the effectiveness of a subset of existing still image-based face recognition algorithms for the remote face data set. We demonstrate that in addition to applying a good classification algorithm, consistent detection of faces with fewer false alarms and finding features that are robust to variations mentioned above are very important for remote face recognition. Also setting up a comprehensive metric to evaluate the quality of face images is necessary in order to reject images that are of low quality.},

	abstract = {An interactive human segmentation approach is described. Given regions of interest provided by users, the approach iteratively estimates segmentation via a generalized EM algorithm. Specifically, it encodes both spatial and color information in a nonparametric kernel density estimator, and incorporates local MRF constraints and global pose inferences to propagate beliefs over image space iteratively to determine a coherent segmentation. This ensures the segmented humans resemble the shapes of human poses. Additionally, a layered occlusion model and a probabilistic occlusion reasoning method are proposed to handle segmentation of multiple humans in occlusion. The approach is tested on a wide variety of images containing single or multiple occluded humans, and the segmentation performance is evaluated quantitatively.},
