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 ...
This paper reports our multimedia information retrieval experiments carried out for the ImageCLEF track (ImageCLEFwiki). The task is to answer to user information needs, i.e. quer...
Recent works in object recognition often use visual words, i.e. vector quantized local descriptors extracted from the images. In this paper we present a novel method to build such ...
Image auto-annotation is an important open problem in
computer vision. For this task we propose TagProp, a discriminatively
trained nearest neighbor model. Tags of test
images a...

We describe an approach for rendering large terrains in real-time. A digital elevation map defines the rough shape of the terrain. During rendering, procedural geometric and text...
