We present a method for object class detection in images based on global shape. A distance measure for elastic shape matching is derived, which is invariant to scale and rotation,...
Image retrieval and image compression have been pursued separately in the past. Only little research has been conducted on a synthesis of the two by allowing image retrieval to be ...
The proliferation of video content on the web makes similarity detection an indispensable tool in web data management, searching, and navigation. We have previously proposed a com...
We propose a method for estimating confidence regions around shapes predicted from partial observations, given a statistical shape model. Our method relies on the estimation of the...
