- Machine vision has evolved to become a mainstream automation tool, enabling computers to replace human vision in high speed and precision manufacturing techniques. Images usually...
In this paper, we propose the Hybrid-Layer Index (simply, the HL-index) that is designed to answer top-k queries efficiently when the queries are expressed on any arbitrary subset ...
This paper concerns a fractional function of the form xT a/ xT Bx, where B is positive definite. We consider the game of choosing x from a convex set, to maximize the function, an...
The problem of similarity search (query-by-content) has attracted much research interest. It is a difficult problem because of the inherently high dimensionality of the data. The ...
The randomness of iris pattern makes it one of the most reliable biometric traits. On the other hand, the complex iris image structure and the various sources of intra-class varia...
