In this paper, we identify and solve a new type of spatial queries, called continuous visible nearest neighbor (CVNN) search. Given a data set P, an obstacle set O, and a query li...
Temporal segmentation of video is a necessary rst step to indexing digital video for browsing and retrieval. A number of di erent video temporal segmentation algorithms have been ...
In this paper we present a novel model based approach to detect severely broken parallel lines in noisy textual documents. It is important to detect and remove these lines so the ...
In this paper, we present a new dichromatic-based method for estimating illuminant chromaticity using a single image. In the proposed method, specular pixels are roughly extracted...
In this paper, we compare the relative effects of segment order, segmentation and segment contiguity on the retrieval performance of a translation memory system. We take a selecti...
