Compressed domain image retrieval allows image indexing to be performed directly on the compressed data without the need of decoding. This approach hence provides a significant ga...
Visual information retrieval (VIR) is a research area with more than 300 scientific publications every year. Technological progress lets surveys become out of date within a short ...
In this paper, a new scheme to address the face recognition problem is proposed. Different from traditional face recognition approaches which represent each facial image by a sing...
In most cases when information is to be extracted from an image, there are priors available on the state of the world and therefore on the detailed measurements which will be obta...
We propose an integral image based algorithm to extract feature covariance matrices of all possible rectangular regions within a given image. Covariance is an essential indicator ...
