Web Page segmentation is a crucial step for many applications in Information Retrieval, such as text classification, de-duplication and full-text search. In this paper we describe...
Motion of curves governed by geometric evolution laws, such as mean curvature flow and surface diffusion, is the basis for many algorithms in image processing. If the images to be ...
We introduce a novel computational method for a Mumford-Shah functional, which decomposes a given image into smooth regions separated by closed curves. Casting this as a shape opti...
This paper describes our participation in the Medical Image Retrieval task of Image CLEF 2008. Our aim was to evaluate different combination methods for purely textual and visual ...
We study approximations of optimization problems with probabilistic constraints in which the original distribution of the underlying random vector is replaced with an empirical dis...
