Computer users with visual impairment cannot access the rich graphical contents in print or digital media unless relying on visual-to-tactile conversion, which is done primarily b...
Hand-drawn pictures differ from ordinary perspective images in that the entire scene is composed of local feature regions each of which is projected individually as seen from its ...
Local image descriptors that are highly discriminative,
computational efficient, and with low storage footprint have
long been a dream goal of computer vision research. In this
...
This paper introduces three new contributions to the problems of image classification and image search. First, we propose a new image patch quantization algorithm. Other competitiv...
