Learning the user’s semantics for CBIR involves two different sources of information: the similarity relations entailed by the content-based features, and the relevance relatio...
Typical content-based image retrieval (CBIR) solutions with regular Euclidean metric usually cannot achieve satisfactory performance due to the semantic gap challenge. Hence, rele...
—Previous works have shown that the ear is a promising candidate for biometric identification. However, in prior work, the preprocessing of ear images has had manual steps and al...
For the improvement of iris recognition system performance, the filtering algorithm that picks out counterfeit and noisy data is very important. In this paper, as a part of preproc...
This paper introduces a novel image decomposition approach for an ensemble of correlated images, using low-rank and sparsity constraints. Each image is decomposed as a combination...
