Face recognition is a challenging problem, complicated by variations in pose, expression, lighting, and the passage of time. Significant work has been done to solve each of these...
We investigate the properties of a metric between two distributions, the Earth Mover's Distance (EMD), for content-based image retrieval. The EMD is based on the minimal cost ...
Many visual matching algorithms can be described in terms of the features and the inter-feature distance or metric. The most commonly used metric is the sum of squared di erences ...
Content-based retrieval (CBIR) methods in medical databases have been designed to support specific tasks, such as retrieval of digital mammograms or 3D MRI images. These methods c...
Proceedings of the 1998 IEEE Asian Conference on Computer Vision, Hong Kong We present a novel approach to the problem of navigating through a database of color images for the pur...
