The quadratic form distance (QFD) has been utilized as an effective similarity function in multimedia retrieval, in particular, when a histogram representation of objects is used...
We propose a new data structure to search in metric spaces. A metric space is formed by a collection of objects and a distance function de ned among them, which satis es the trian...
This paper presents the scatter search particle filter (SSPF) algorithm and its application to real-time hands and face tracking. SSPF combines sequential Monte Carlo (particle fil...
To exploit co-occurrence patterns among features and target semantics while keeping the simplicity of the keywordbased visual search, a novel reranking methods is proposed. The ap...
This paper proposes simple techniques for handling place references in search engine queries, an important aspect of geographical information retrieval. We address not only the de...
