Region-based image retrieval systems aim to improve the effectiveness of content-based search by decomposing each image into a set of “homogeneous” regions. Thus, similarity b...
We propose a novel approach to shape-based image retrieval that builds upon a similarity criterion which is based on the average point set distance. Compared to traditional techni...
Efficient user-adaptable similarity search more and more increases in its importance for multimedia and spatial database systems. As a general similarity model for multi-dimension...
We describe a system for aggregating heterogeneous resources from distinct administrative domains into an enterprise-wide compute grid, such that the aggregated resource provides ...
We propose a method to improve the results of image search engines on the Internet to satisfy users who desire to see relevant images in the first few pages. The method re-ranks ...
