Spatio-temporal, geo-referenced datasets are growing rapidly, and will be more in the near future, due to both technological and social/commercial reasons. From the data mining vie...
We present a technique to adapt the domain of local features through the matching process to augment their discriminative power. We start with local affine features selected and n...
In this paper we adopt a component model based on object-oriented systems, introducing the concepts of components and their structure. A component consists of a dynamically changi...
We present a novel aging technique that simulates the deformation of an object caused by repetitive impacts over long periods of time. Our semi-automatic system deteriorates the s...
