Digital visual libraries have currently available huge amounts of content in unstructured, nonindexed form. Since these collections keep growing fast, retrieving specific images i...
Efficient one-pass computation of F0, the number of distinct elements in a data stream, is a fundamental problem arising in various contexts in databases and networking. We consid...
Distributed and parallel computing environments are becoming cheap and commonplace. The availability of large numbers of CPU's makes it possible to process more data at highe...
State-of-the-art object retrieval systems are mostly based on the bag-of-visual-words representation which encodes local appearance information of an image in a feature vector. A ...
We propose to utilize micro features, namely facial marks (e.g., freckles, moles, and scars) to improve face recognition and retrieval performance. Facial marks can be used in thr...
