Many realistic visual recognition tasks are “open” in the sense that the number and nature of the categories to be learned are not initially known, and there is no closed set ...
Face detection is a canonical example of a rare event detection problem, in which target patterns occur with much lower frequency than nontargets. Out of millions of face-sized wi...
We analyze the special structure of the relevance feedback learning problem, focusing particularly on the effects of image selection by partial relevance on the clustering behavio...
: In image processing, image similarity indices evaluate how much structural information is maintained by a processed image in relation to a reference image. Commonly used measures...
This paper presents a novel theory for learning generic prior models from a set of observed natural images based on a minimax entropy theory that the authors studied in modeling t...
