Subspace analysis of arbitrarily many linear filter responses with an application to face tracking (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Zafeiriou, S., Tzimiropoulos, G., & Pantic, M. (2011). Subspace analysis of arbitrarily many linear filter responses with an application to face tracking.

Multi-scale/orientation local image analysis methods are valuable tools for obtaining highly distinctive image-based representations.

This paper examines the idea of an extended unit of action, which is the idea that the reasons for or against an individual action can depend on the qualities of a larger pattern of action of which it is a part. One concept of joint action is that... Read More about Rationality and the unit of action.

In this paper... Read More about Sparse representations of image gradient orientations for visual recognition and tracking.

Robust and efficient parametric face alignment (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Tzimiropoulos, G., Zafeiriou, S., & Pantic, M. (2011). Robust and efficient parametric face alignment.

We propose a correlation-based approach to parametric object alignment particularly suitable for face analysis applications which require efficiency and robustness against occlusions and illumination changes.

Perceptions of climate change and willingness to save energy related to flood experience (2011)
Journal Article
Spence, A., Poortinga, W., Butler, C., & Pidgeon, N. (2011). Perceptions of climate change and willingness to save energy related to flood experience. Nature Climate Change, 1(1),

One of the reasons that people may not take action to mitigate climate change is that they lack first-hand experience of its potential consequences. From this perspective, individuals who have direct experience of phenomena that may be linked to clim...
