Abstract. Vector quantization (VQ) is an elementary technique for image compression. However, the complexity of searching the nearest codeword in a codebook is time-consuming. In t...
Bidirectional texture functions (BTFs) represent the appearance of complex materials. Three major shortcomings with BTFs are the bulky storage, the difficulty in editing and the ...
M-tree is a dynamic access method suitable to index generic “metric spaces”, where the function used to compute the distance between any two objects satisfies the positivity, ...

We model the performance of a speaker recognition system used for surveillance to prioritize a large number of candidate speakers in search of a single target speaker. It is assum...
Based on the important progresses made in information retrieval (IR) in terms of theoretical models and evaluations, more and more attention has recently been paid to the research...
