Developing applications that make effective use of machine-readable knowledge sources as promised by the Semantic Web vision is attracting much of current research interest; this v...
Many vision applications require precise measurement of scene radiance. The function relating scene radiance to image brightness is called the camera response. We analyze the prop...
We propose an algorithm to find piecewise linear skeletons of hand-written characters by using principal curves. The development of the method was inspired by the apparent similar...
If the model of free-form queries, which has proved successful for HTML based search on the Web, is made available for Grid services, it will serve as a powerful tool for scientis...
Learning semantics from annotated images to enhance content-based retrieval is an important research direction. In this paper, annotation data are assumed available for only a sub...
