Many computer vision algorithms require searching a set of images for similar patches, which is a very expensive operation. In this work, we compare and evaluate a number of neares...
Image-based and model-based methods are two representative rendering methods for generating virtual images of objects from their real images. Extensive research on these two metho...
In this paper, we propose a new prototype learning/matching method that can be combined with support vector machines (SVM) in pattern recognition. This hybrid method has the follo...
Image segmentation is defined as partitioning an image into non-overlapping regions based on the intensity or texture. The active contour methods provide an effective way for segm...
Object recognition has reached a level where we can identify a large number of previously seen and known objects. However, the more challenging and important task of categorizing ...
