This paper introduces a simple criterion to select the most important level lines from the numerous set obtained with a topographic map. A topographic map gives a morphological an...
We present an estimation-theoretic approach to curve evolution for the Mumford-Shah problem. By viewing an active contour as the set of discontinuities in the Mumford-Shah problem...
In high-dimensional and complex metric spaces, determining the nearest neighbor (NN) of a query object ? can be a very expensive task, because of the poor partitioning operated by...
This paper presents an algorithm, called the winnerupdate algorithm, for accelerating the nearest neighbor search. By constructing a hierarchical structure ,for each feature point...
Color features are among the most important features used in image database retrieval, especially in cases where no additional semantic information is available. Due to its compac...
