Matching word images has many applications in document recognition and retrieval systems. Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) is popularly used to estimate the similarity between word imag...
In multimodal function optimization, niching techniques create diversification within the population, thus encouraging heterogeneous convergence. The key to the effective diversif...
In semi-supervised classification boosting, a similarity measure is demanded in order to measure the distance between samples (both labeled and unlabeled). However, most of the e...
One of the keys issues to content-based image retrieval is the similarity measurement of images. Images are represented as points in the space of low-level visual features and mos...
In this paper, a new recursive algorithm is proposed for optimal estimation of similarity measure used in a content-based retrieval system. This is performed through a relevance f...
