Discriminating between secreted and membrane proteins is a challenging task. This is particularly true for discriminating between transmembrane segments and signal peptides because...
This paper proposes a new texture descriptor to guide the search and retrieval in image databases. It extracts rich information from global and local primitives of textured images...

We present tensor scale descriptor (TSD)— a shape descriptor for content-based image retrieval, registration, and analysis. TSD exploits the notion of local structure thickness,...

Iris segmentation is one of the crucial steps in building an iris recognition system since it affects the accuracy of the iris matching significantly. This segmentation should acc...
This chapter presents an approach for texture and object recognition that uses scale- or affine-invariant local image features in combination with a discriminative classifier. Text...
