Sets of local features that are invariant to common image transformations are an effective representation to use when comparing images; current methods typically judge feature set...
We examine the shape from shading problem without boundary conditions as a polynomial system. This view allows, in generic cases, a complete solution for ideal polyhedral objects....
Abstract. Color histogram is one of the most widely used visual feature representations in content-based retrieval. When processing the image/video data in the JPEG/MPEG compressed...
In this paper, we address both standard and focused retrieval tasks based on comprehensible language models and interactive query expansion (IQE). Query topics are expanded using a...
We illustrate a simple algorithm for approximating the medial axis of a 2D shape with smooth boundary from a sample of this boundary. The algorithm is compared to a more general a...
