Beautiful is the first test: there is no permanent place in the world for ugly mathematics.

– G.H. Hardy

News:

　I am always looking for PhD students and research assistants motivated for doing research in computer vision, machine learning, multimedia, and video surveillance. Students with strong mathematical background and good programming experiences in MatLab are always welcome.

CFP: Signal Processing (Elsevier) Special Issue on Visual Information Analysis for Security.

Best theory/algorithms paper runner up award: D. Tao, X. Li, X. Wu, and S. J. Maybank, “General Averaged Divergences Analysis,” IEEE International Conference on Data Mining (ICDM), 2007.
