Covariances in Computer Vision and Machine Learning
Murino, Vittorio / Minh, Hà Quang Covariance matrices play important roles in many areas of mathematics, statistics, and machine learning, as well as their applications. In computer vision and image processing, they give rise to a powerful data representation, namely the covariance descriptor, with numerous practical applications.
In this book, we begin by presenting an overview of the {\it finite-dimensional covariance matrix} representation approach of images, along with it...
