In this paper, we draw an analogy between image retrieval and text retrieval and propose a visual phrase-based approach to retrieve images containing desired objects. The visual p...
In many applications, objects are represented by a collection of unorganized points that scan the surface of the object. In such cases, an efficient way of storing this information...
Detection of visually salient image regions is useful for applications like object segmentation, adaptive compression, and object recognition. Recently, full-resolution salient ma...
Sets of local features that are invariant to common image transformations are an effective representation to use when comparing images; current methods typically judge feature set...
We propose and test an objective criterion for evaluation of clustering performance: How well does a clustering algorithm run on unlabeled data aid a classification algorithm? The...
