—Crease surfaces are two-dimensional manifolds along which a scalar field assumes a local maximum (ridge) or a local minimum (valley) in a constrained space. Unlike isosurfaces, ...
—The Reeb graph of a scalar function represents the evolution of the topology of its level sets. This paper describes a near-optimal output-sensitive algorithm for computing the ...
In this paper we are interested in finding images of people on the web, and more specifically within large databases of captioned news images. It has recently been shown that visua...
Video-based human recognition at a distance remains a challenging problem for the fusion of multimodal biometrics. As compared to the approach based on match score level fusion, i...
For two-class discrimination, Ref. [1] claimed that, when covariance matrices of the two classes were unequal, a (class) unbalanced dataset had a negative effect on the performanc...
