Due to variations of lighting conditions, camera hardware settings, and the range of skin coloration among human beings, a pre-defined skin-color model cannot accurately capture t...
The distribution of the wavelet coefficients in 2-D discrete wavelet transform (DWT) subspaces can be well described by a Gaussian mixture statistical model. In this paper, a secr...
The Hermite Transform is an image representation model that incorporates some important properties of visual perception such as the analysis through overlapping receptive fields a...
Image retrieval critically relies on the distance function used to compare a query image to images in the database. We suggest to learn such distance functions by training binary ...
