Abstract. We describe a scalable parallel implementation of the self organizing map (SOM) suitable for datamining applications involving clustering or segmentation against large da...

—Extracting a signature from a check with patterned background is a thorny problem in image segmentation. Methods based on threshold techniques often necessitate meticulous postp...
We propose an algorithm for extracting facial features robustly from images for face recognition under large pose variation. Rectangular facial features are retrieved via the by-p...
The mean-shift algorithm, based on ideas proposed by Fukunaga and Hostetler (1975), is a hill-climbing algorithm on the density defined by a finite mixture or a kernel density e...
This paper proposes a novel nonparametric clustering algorithm capable of identifying shape-free clusters. This algorithm is based on a nonparametric estimation of the normalized ...
