The author participated in the research and writing of Papers I-IV and was mainly responsible for the practical arrangements and measurements done for the database created in Paper II and the measurements for Paper I. She wrote Papers V-VII while the other authors gave their useful comments. In the Papers V-VI, she was responsible for the research made. Papers VI-VIII are based on her ideas, while Paper V was based on Dr. Soriano’s idea. For Paper VII, all the authors participated in the practical research. In Paper VIII, the present author applied the chromaticity constraint technique for the mean shift algorithm which was implemented by Mr. Sangi. While she mainly performed the writing and experiments, also the co-authors Prof. Pietikäinen and Mr. Sangi participated in the writing process. The other authors gave once again useful comments.
