Abstract. This paper explores how to predict query difficulty for contextual image retrieval. We reformulate the problem as the task of predicting how difficult to represent a quer...
A systematic static shadow detection algorithm for color images is presented in this paper. The image is modeled by an undirected graph and the shadow detection is achieved throug...
A method for removing additive Gaussian noise from digital images is described. It is based on statistical modeling of the coefficients of a redundant, oriented, complex multiscale...
Image classification and annotation are important problems
in computer vision, but rarely considered together. Intuitively,
annotations provide evidence for the class label,
and...
This paper presents an algorithm for tree-based representation of single images and its applications to segmentation and filtering with depth. In a our recent work, we have addres...
