Recent advances in nanophotonic structures covering both photonic crystals (PhC) and metamaterials are reviewed. Useful properties have been obtained metal-based planar Split Ring Resonator (SRR) structures at infra-red optical frequencies and wo

In this paper, we present an approach toward pedestrian detection and tracking from infrared imagery using joint shape and appearance cues. A layered representation is first introduced and a generalized expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm is dev
