In this paper we describe an approach that uses a combination of visual and audio features to cluster shots belonging to the same person together in video programs. We use color h...
Processes that simulate natural phenomena have successfully been applied to a number of problems for which no simple mathematical solution is known or is practicable. Such meta-heu...

With hierarchical clustering methods, divisions or fusions, once made, are irrevocable. As a result, when two elements in a bottom-up algorithm are assigned to one cluster, they c...
Many unsupervised learning algorithms make use of kernels that rely on the Euclidean distance between two samples. However, the Euclidean distance is optimal for Gaussian distribut...

A decomposition scheme for 3D fuzzy objects is presented. The decomposition is guided by a fuzzy distance transform (FDT) of the fuzzy object and aims to decompose the fuzzy objec...
