Beyond realising the right of children and young people to be heard in routine interactions, there is much scope for research with (rather than on) children. This is particularly pertinent in the field of inclusive education where there is potential...

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Tzimiropoulos, G., Zafeiriou, S., & Pantic, M. (2011). Principal component analysis of image gradient orientations for face recognition.

We introduce the notion of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) of image gradient orientations. As image data is typically noisy, but noise is substantially different from Gaussian, traditional PCA of pixel intensities very often fails to estimate reli...
