We present a new variant of the quantum adversary method. All adversary methods give lower bounds on the quantum query complexity of a function by bounding the change of a progres...
Blind source separation (BSS) has been successfully applied to many fields such as communications and biomedical engineering. Its application for image encryption, however, remain...
This paper presents a decoupled two stage solution to the multiple-instance learning (MIL) problem. With a constructed affinity matrix to reflect the instance relations, a modified...
We present an algorithm for performing Lambertian photometric stereo in the presence of shadows. The algorithm has three novel features. First, a fast graph cuts based method is u...
We propose modeling images and related visual objects as bags of pixels or sets of vectors. For instance, gray scale images are modeled as a collection or bag of (X, Y, I) pixel v...
