Abstract. Human perception of shape is based on visual parts of objects to a point that a single, significant visual part is sufficient to recognize the whole object. For example,...
Abstract Features computed as statistics (e.g. histograms) of local filter responses have been reported as the most powerful descriptors for texture classification and segmentation...
We present a novel approach for extraction of minutiaefeatures from fingerprint images. Theproposed approach is based on the use of logical templates for minutiae extraction in th...
Abstract. Good estimates of join result sizes are critical for query optimization in relational database management systems. We address the problem of incrementally obtaining accur...
We develop a statistical model to describe the spatially varying behavior of local neighborhoods of coefficients in a multiscale image representation. Neighborhoods are modeled as ...
