"The Dark Side of the Face: Exploring the Ultraviolet Spectrum for Face Biometrics"
Novel biometric modality using UV imaging for melanin pigmentation analysis. Evaluated on 91-subject multiethnic dataset with SURF feature extraction. This research demonstrates how UV spectrum imaging can enhance face recognition accuracy and robustness by capturing melanin distribution patterns invisible to standard cameras.
"Fiber Defect Detection of Inhomogeneous Voluminous Textiles"
Computer vision approach for detecting defects in complex textile materials using advanced image processing. Developed algorithms capable of identifying structural anomalies in three-dimensional textile surfaces, with applications in quality control and manufacturing.
"Attack Detection in an Autonomous Entrance System Using Optical Flow"
Security system utilizing optical flow analysis for presentation attack detection in automated access control. Implements real-time motion analysis to distinguish between genuine users and spoofing attempts, enhancing biometric system security.
"Personalized Face Reference from Video: Key-Face Selection and Feature-Level Fusion"
Method for optimal face frame selection from video sequences with subject-specific weighting, evaluated on YouTube Faces dataset. Addresses the challenge of selecting the most representative frames for face recognition in unconstrained video environments.
"Virtual Fitting Pipeline: Body Dimension Recognition, Cloth Modeling, and On-Body Simulation"
Three-stage pipeline combining anthropometric measurement, cloth physics, and avatar simulation for virtual garment fitting. Integrates computer vision-based body scanning with physically-based cloth simulation for realistic virtual try-on experiences.
