In many image retrieval applications, the mapping between highlevel semantic concept and low-level features is obtained through a learning process. Traditional approaches often as...
In some applications objects are known to have nonsmooth or “jagged” edges, which are not well approximated by smooth curves. We use subdivision curves as a simple but flexib...
Content analysis of video and still images is attractive for multiple reasons, such as enabling content-based actions and image manipulation. This paper presents a new algorithm an...
Theoretical understanding and extension of mean shift procedure has received much attention recently [8, 18, 3]. In this paper, we present a theoretical exploration and an algorit...
We present an approach for measuring similarity between visual entities (images or videos) based on matching internal self-similarities. What is correlated across images (or acros...
