This paper presents an efficient compound image compression approach based on H.264/AVC intra coding. The text blocks are distinguished from the picture blocks and compressed with...
A new approach is presented for partitioning an image database by classifying and indexing the convex hull shapes and the number of region concavities. The result is a significant...
Abstract. The proposed work exploits methods and techniques for automatic characterization of images for content-based access to personal photo libraries. Several techniques, even ...
In information retrieval, sub-space techniques are usually used to reveal the latent semantic structure of a data-set by projecting it to a low dimensional space. Non-negative mat...
Targeting the same objective of alleviating the manual work as automatic annotation, in this paper, we propose a novel framework with minimal human effort to manually annotate a l...
