The issue of ®nding similar 3-D surface segments arises in many recent applications of spatial database systems, such as molecular biology, medical imaging, CAD, and geographic i...
In content based image retrieval, the success of any distance-based indexing scheme depends critically on the quality of the chosen distance metric. We propose in this paper a ker...
Adaptable similarity queries based on quadratic form distance functions are widely popular in data mining application domains including multimedia, CAD, molecular biology or medica...
As it becomes increasingly viable to capture, store, and share large amounts of image and video data, automatic image analysis is crucial to managing visual information. Many prob...
It has been shown repeatedly that iterative relevance feedback is a very efficient solution for content-based image retrieval. However, no existing system scales gracefully to hu...
