We propose a method to detect objects and patterns in textures on general surfaces. Our approach applies the Chan?Vese variational model for active contours without edges to the p...
Abstract. In this paper, we present a novel algorithm to detect homogeneous color regions in images. We show its performance by applying it to skin detection. In contrast to previo...
With the explosive growth of digital music, content-based music information retrieval especially query by humming/singing have been attracting more and more attention and are beco...
Segmentation in volumetric images deals with separating `objects' from their `background' in a given 3D data. Usually, one starts with `edge detectors' that give bi...
The two major problems raised by a region-based image retrieval system are the automatic definition and description of regions. In this paper we first present a technique of unsup...
