Anecdotal evidence suggests that story-level information is important for the speech component of video retrieval. In this paper we perform a systematic examination of the combina...
Most of Information Retrieval (IR) systems are still based on bag of word paradigm. This is a strong limitation if one needs high precision answers. For example, in restricted doma...
In this paper, we propose a method for 3D-model retrieval from one or more photos. This method provides an ”optimal” selection of 2D views to represent a 3D-model, and a proba...
Nearest neighbour (NN) searches and k nearest neighbour (k-NN) searches are widely used in pattern recognition and image retrieval. An NN (k-NN) search finds the closest object (...
We discuss a shape representation based on a set of disconnected (planar) polygons. The polygons are computed by creating a BSP that contains approximately linear surface patches ...
