Let us denote a b = max(a; b) and a b = a + b for a; b R and extend this pair of operations to matrices and vectors in the same way as in conventional linear algebra, that is i...
A new spectral representation called the composite model is proposed. Its key point is to decompose all spectra into a smooth background and a collection of spikes. The smooth par...
Images are increasingly being embedded in HTML documents on the WWW. Such documents over the WWW essentially provides a rich source of image collection from which users can query....
This paper presents a new appearance-based place recognition system for topological localization. The method uses a panoramic vision system to sense the environment. Color images ...
A new compound image compression algorithm is proposed, based on Shape Primitive Extraction and Coding (SPEC). The SPEC first segments a compound image into text/graphics pixels an...
