For effective retrieval of visual information, statistical learning plays a pivotal role. Statistical learning in such a context faces at least two major mathematical challenges: ...
The paper describes an innovative image annotation tool, based on a multi-class Support Vector Machine, for classifying image pixels in one of seven classes - sky, skin, vegetation...
We present a two-step method to speed-up object detection systems in computer vision that use Support Vector Machines (SVMs) as classifiers. In a first step we perform feature red...
