Several authors have noticed that the common representation of images as vectors is sub-optimal. The process of vectorization eliminates spatial relations between some of the near...
Camera phones present new opportunities and challenges for mobile informationassociation and retrieval. The visual input in the real environment is a new and rich interaction moda...
While discriminative training (e.g., CRF, structural SVM) holds much promise for machine translation, image segmentation, and clustering, the complex inference these applications ...
In image retrieval, most existing approaches that incorporate local features produce high dimensional vectors, which lead to a high computational and data storage cost. Moreover, ...
Computed tomography (CT) images have been widely used for diagnosis of liver disease and volume measurement for liver surgery or transplantation. Automatic liver segmentation and ...
