A new decision tree learning algorithm called IDX is described. More general than existing algorithms, IDX addresses issues of decision tree quality largely overlooked in the arti...
One of the fundamental problems in Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) has been the gap between low-level visual features and high-level semantic concepts. To narrow down this gap...
A key ingredient in the design of visual object classification
systems is the identification of relevant class specific
aspects while being robust to intra-class variations. Whil...
Face recognition algorithms need to deal with variable
lighting conditions. Near infrared (NIR) image based face
recognition technology has been proposed to effectively
overcome...
—Discriminant feature extraction plays a central role in pattern recognition and classification. Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) is a traditional algorithm for supervised feat...
