Effective texture feature is an essential component in any content based image retrieval system. In the past, spectral features, like Gabor and wavelet, have shown superior retrie...
This paper presents a region-based image retrieval (RBIR) system in which users can choose specific regions as the query. Our goal is to assist the user to formulate more precise q...
A pixel-pattern-based texture feature (PPBTF) is proposed for real-time gender recognition. A gray-scale image is transformed into a pattern map where edges and lines are to be use...

Abstract--This paper presents the development of an unsupervised image segmentation framework (referred to as CTex) that is based on the adaptive inclusion of color and texture in ...
We apply independent component analysis (ICA) for extracting an optimal basis to the problem of finding efficient features for a speaker. The basis functions learned by the algori...
