We consider the use of top-points for object retrieval. These points are based on scale-space and catastrophe theory, and are invariant under gray value scaling and offset as well ...
We describe a new invariant-based data model for image databases under our approach for shape-based retrieval. The data model relies on contours description of the image shape, an...
The paper is a short tutorial on the multiscale differential geometric possibilities of the front-end visual receptive fields, modeled by Gaussian derivative kernels. The paper is ...
Abstract— We prove that a controllable set of smooth trajectories is the solution set of a constant coefficient linear differential equation if and only if it is linear, time in...
Abstract. For shapes represented as closed planar contours, we introduce a class of functionals that are invariant with respect to the Euclidean and similarity group, obtained by p...
