Local feature methods suitable for image feature based object recognition and for the estimation of motion and structure are composed of two steps, namely the `where' and `wh...
The initialisation of segmentation methods aiming at the localisation of biological structures in medical imagery is frequently regarded as a given precondition. In practice, howev...
Video coding is a complex process, comprising a combination of spatial, temporal and statistical data reduction techniques. Of these techniques, motion estimation taking advantage...
: Many companies have recognized the strategic importance of the knowledge hidden in their large databases and have built data warehouses. Typically, updates are collected and appl...
We propose a novel approach to improve the distinctiveness of local image features without significantly affecting their robustness with respect to image deformations. Local image...
