In this paper we propose a technique for segmenting images by texture content with application to indexing images in a large image database. Using a quad-tree decomposition, textu...
Many ensemble methods, such as Bagging, Boosting, Random Forest, etc, have been proposed and widely used in real world applications. Some of them are better than others on noisefre...
Large flash disks, or solid state drives (SSDs), have become an attractive alternative to magnetic hard disks, due to their high random read performance, low energy consumption a...
