A system to retrieve images using a description of the image intensity surface is presented. Gaussian derivative lters at several scales are applied to the image and low order 2D ...
In this paper, we propose a novel image classification approach, derived from the kNN classification strategy, that is particularly suited to be used when classifying images descr...
A new system, RAIDER (Retrieval and Annotation of Image Databases), has been developed for the management of image databases. RAIDER was designed to combat the inadequacies and in...
This paper presents an approach to automatically optimizing the retrieval quality of search engines using clickthrough data. Intuitively, a good information retrieval system shoul...
When selecting alternatives from large amounts of data, trade-offs play a vital role in everyday decision making. In databases this is primarily reflected by the top-k retrieval p...
