Efficient user-adaptable similarity search more and more increases in its importance for multimedia and spatial database systems. As a general similarity model for multi-dimension...
Modern database applications like geographic information systems, multimedia databases, and digital libraries dealing with huge volumes of high dimensional data, make use of multi...
Abstract. In this paper, we present a system framework for event detection in pedestrian and tracking applications. The system is built upon a robust computer vision approach to de...
Abstract. Biometric identification has emerged as a reliable means of controlling access to both physical and virtual spaces. In spite of the rapid proliferation of large-scale dat...
We present data representations, distance measures and organizational structures for fast and efficient retrieval of similar shapes in image databases. Using the Hough Transform w...
