In this paper, still images are modeled by hierarchical tree structures and object relational graphs. These modeling concepts can be described naturally using XML schema. We intro...
The goal of this paper is to describe an efficient procedure for color-based image retrieval. The proposed procedure consists of two stages. First, the image data set is hierarchi...
This article presents an algorithm for the automatic detection of circular shapes from complicated and noisy images. The algorithm is based on a hybrid technique composed of simul...
This paper presents a general family of algebraic positive definite similarity functions over spaces of matrices with varying column rank. The columns can represent local regions ...
We introduce "contour stencils" as a simple method for detecting the local orientation of image contours and apply this detection to image zooming. Our approach is motiv...
