In this paper, a novel and efficient automatic image categorization system is proposed. This system integrates the MIL-based and global-featurebased SVMs for categorization. The IP...
A method for color indexing is proposed that is based upon nonparametric statistical techniques. Nonparametrics compare the ordinal rankings of sample populations, and maintain the...
Abstract. Facial feature extraction is a fundamental problem in image processing. Correct extraction of features is essential for the success of many applications. Typical feature ...
Concavity trees have been known for quite some time as structural descriptors of 2-D shape; however, they haven’t been explored further until recently. This paper shows how 2-D s...
In this study, we propose two algorithms for measuring the distance between shape boundaries. In the algorithms, shape boundary is represented by the Beam Angle Statistics (BAS), w...
In this paper, we introduce a new multiscale representation for 2-D images named the Inter-Coefficient Product (ICP). The ICP is a decimated pyramid of complex values based on the ...
A neglected challenge in existing e-Learning (eL) systems is providing access to multimedia to all users regardless of environmental conditions such as diverse device capabilities,...
Abstract. This paper presents a method for estimating the orientation of planar text surfaces using the edge-direction distribution (EDD) extracted from the image as input to a neu...
The purpose of this paper is to allow for high level shape representation and matching in multi-object images by detecting and extracting the envelope of object groupings in the im...
