    Appearance models yield a compact representation of shape, pose and illumination variations. The probabilistic appearance model, proposed by Moghaddam et al. (Moghaddam and Pentland, 1997; Tipping and Bishop, 1997b), has recently shown excellent performances in pattern detection and recognition, outperforming most other linear and non-linear approaches. Unfortunately, the complexity of this model remains high. In this paper, we introduce an efficient approximation of this model, which enables fast implementations in statistical estimation-based schemes. Gains in complexity and cpu time of more than 10 have been obtained, without any loss in the quality of the results.Les modèles d'apparence permettent d'encoder les variabilités de forme, de pose, et d'illumination dans une seule représentation compacte. Le modèle d'apparence probabiliste de Moghaddam et al. (Moghaddam and Pentland, 1997; Tipping and Bishop, 1997b), reposant sur une interprétation statistique de l'Analyse en Composantes Principales (ACP) s'est récemment illustré par ses excellentes performances en détection et en reconnaissance des formes, surpassant de nombreuses autres méthodes linéaires et non linéaires. Ce modèle, performant, se heurte toutefois à une complexité calculatoire importante. Nous proposons, dans cet article, une approximation de ce modèle qui se prête à une mise en oeuvre rapide, dans le cadre de schémas d'estimation statistique. Des gains en complexité et en temps de calcul supérieurs à 10, sont obtenus, sans aucune perte de qualité dans les résultats des traitements

    Image Registration Workshop Proceedings

    Automatic image registration has often been considered as a preliminary step for higher-level processing, such as object recognition or data fusion. But with the unprecedented amounts of data which are being and will continue to be generated by newly developed sensors, the very topic of automatic image registration has become and important research topic. This workshop presents a collection of very high quality work which has been grouped in four main areas: (1) theoretical aspects of image registration; (2) applications to satellite imagery; (3) applications to medical imagery; and (4) image registration for computer vision research
