It is now common practice in machine vision to define the variability in an object's appearance in a factored manner, as a combination of shape and texture transformations. I...
Most of current fingerprint indexing schemes utilize features based on global textures and minutiae structures. To extend the existing technology of feature extraction, this paper...
This paper addresses the problem of recognizing shadows from monochromatic natural images. Without chromatic information, shadow classification is very challenging because the in...
We describe and demonstrate CBGIR, a web-based system for performing content-based image retrieval in large sets of high-resolution overhead images. The system provides a familiar...

The richness of natural images makes the quest for optimal representations in image processing and computer vision challenging. The latter observation has not prevented the design...
