Interactive feature visualization for image retrieval
Most systems for content based image retrieval (CBIR) employ low level image features as a similarity measure. The problem of CBIR systems is that they are a “black box” to th...

Cellular automaton for ultra-fast watershed transform on GPU
In this paper we describe a cellular automaton (CA) used to perform the watershed transform in N-D images. Our method is based on image integration via the Ford-Bellman shortest p...
