Most data mining operations include an integral search component at their core. For example, the performance of similarity search or classification based on Nearest Neighbors is ...
Despite its usefulness in many applications, the medial axis transform (MAT) is very sensitive to the change of the boundary in the sense that, even if a shape is perturbed only s...
Encouraging exploration, typically by preserving the diversity within the population, is one of the most common method to improve the behavior of evolutionary algorithms with dece...
This paper compares two methods for object localization from contours: shape context and chamfer matching of templates. In the light of our experiments, we suggest improvements to...

Many recent works have attempted to improve object recognition by exploiting temporal dynamics, an intrinsic property of video sequences. In this paper, a new spatiotemporal hiera...
