We describe a new invariant-based data model for image databases under our approach for shape-based retrieval. The data model relies on contours description of the image shape, an...
Decomposing video frames into coherent two-dimensional motion layers is a powerful method for representing videos. Such a representation provides an intermediate description that e...
We present a description of three different algorithms that use background knowledge to improve text classifiers. One uses the background knowledge as an index into the set of tra...
Automatic construction of Shape and Appearance Models from examples via establishing correspondences across the training set has been successful in the last decades. One successfu...
We study the problem of learning to rank images for image retrieval. For a noisy set of images indexed or tagged by the same keyword, we learn a ranking model from some training e...
