We consider the problem of detecting object contours in natural images. In many cases, local luminance changes turn out to be stronger in textured areas than on object contours. Th...
This paper considers the design of efficient quantizers for a robust distributed source coding system. The information is encoded at independent terminals and transmitted across se...
Many image retargeting algorithms, despite aesthetically carving images smaller, pay limited attention to image browsing tasks where tiny thumbnails are presented. When applying t...
Many clustering algorithms fail when dealing with high dimensional data. Principal component analysis (PCA) is a popular dimensionality reduction algorithm. However, it assumes a ...
Abstract. This paper presents a middleware platform we designed in order to allow the deployment of component-based software applications on mobile devices (such as laptops or pers...
