For the discovery of similar patterns in 1D time-series, it is very typical to perform a normalization of the data (for example a transformation so that the data follow a zero mea...
We propose a method of music melody matching based on their “continuous” (or “time-frame-based”) pitch contours. Most previous methods using frame-based contours either ma...
This paper proposes a simple voting scheme for off-line recognition of handprinted numerals. One of the main features of the proposed scheme is that this is not script dependent. ...
The earth mover's distance (EMD) [16] is an important perceptually meaningful metric for comparing histograms, but it suffers from high (O(N3 log N)) computational complexity...
