In this paper we present two contributions to improve accuracy and speed of an image search system based on bag-of-features: a contextual dissimilarity measure (CDM) and an effici...
: Probability distribution mapping function, which maps multivariate data distribution to the function of one variable, is introduced. Distributionmapping exponent (DME) is somethi...
The encoding process of image vector quantization (VQ) is very heavy due to it performing a lot of k-dimensional Euclidean distance computations. In order to speed up VQ encoding,...
Heuristic search for the global minimum is studied. This paper is focused on the adaptation of control parameters in differential evolution (DE) and in controlled random search (...
An important research issue in multimedia databases is the retrieval of similar objects. For most applications in multimedia databases, an exact search is not meaningful. Thus, mu...
