We introduce a new 3D shape descriptor which maps the surface features onto an arbitrary template surface using mean-value interpolation. A compact numerical shape descriptor is e...
Information retrieval systems consist of many complicated components. Research and development of such systems is often hampered by the difficulty in evaluating how each particula...

Abstract. Many algorithmic problems, which are used to prove the security of a cryptographic system, are shown to be characterized as the subgroup membership problem. We then apply...
The binary form of an image does not tell what the image is about. It is possible to retrieve images from a database using pattern matching techniques, but usually textual descript...
With the large and increasing amount of visual information available in digital libraries and the Web, efficient and robust systems for image retrieval are urgently needed. In thi...
