This paper aims to propose an extension of SOMs called an “SOM of SOMs,” or SOM¾ , in which the mapped objects are self-organizing maps themselves. In SOM¾ , each nodal unit ...
Image content analysis has become an important issue in multimedia processing. Region-based image retrieval systems attempt to reduce the gap between high-level semantics and low-l...
Localizing objects in images is a difficult task and represents the first step to the solution of the object recognition problem. This paper presents a novel approach to the local...
This paper describes a new approach to neural network implementation of photometric stereo for a rotational object with non-uniform reflectance factor. Three input images are acqu...

We study the scenario of a multiview setting, where several
calibrated views of a textured object with known surface
geometry are available. The objective is to estimate a
diffu...
