This paper presents an efficient and homogeneous paradigm for automatic acquisition and recognition of nonparametric shapes. Acquisition time varies from linear to cubic in the nu...
A large number of computer tasks can be modeled as the search for an object near a given query. From multimedia databases to learning algorithms, data mining and pattern recognitio...
The ability to construct CAD or other object models from edge and range data has a fundamental meaning in building a recognition and positioning system. While the problem of model...
Recently, a successful extension of Principal Component Analysis for structured input, such as sequences, trees, and graphs, has been proposed. This allows the embedding of discret...
This paper addresses the problem of font retrieval using a query-by-example paradigm: given a font, retrieve the the most visually similar fonts. We describe a font by (a) renderi...
