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...
In this work we propose a convex relaxation approach
for computing minimal partitions. Our approach is based
on rewriting the minimal partition problem (also known as
Potts mode...

Common visual codebook generation methods used in
a Bag of Visual words model, e.g. k-means or Gaussian
Mixture Model, use the Euclidean distance to cluster features
into visual...
In recent years the Markov Random Field (MRF) has
become the de facto probabilistic model for low-level vision
applications. However, in a maximum a posteriori
(MAP) framework, ...
