In this paper we present a new metaphysical theory of material objects. On our theory, objects are bundles of property instances, where those properties give the nature or essence of that object. We call the theory essential bundle theory. Property p... Read More about Material Objects and Essential Bundle Theory.

Synergy between face alignment and tracking via Discriminative Global Consensus Optimization (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Khan, M. H., McDonagh, J., & Tzimiropoulos, G. (2017). Synergy between face alignment and tracking via Discriminative Global Consensus Optimization.

An open question in facial landmark localization in video is whether one should perform tracking or tracking-by-detection (i.e. face alignment). Tracking produces fittings of high accuracy but is prone to drifting. Tracking-by-detection is drift-free...
