In this talk, we will review the concept of Independent Component Analysis and present the results of the application of this techniques to two problems. The first problem is texture defect detection where the results demonstrating the use of this method for visual inspection of textile products obtained from a real factory environment will be presented. We will also explore the independent components and the wavelet sub-bands that increase face recognition performance and that are purportedly robust against expression variations and differences in illumination.
