Based on the local keypoints extracted as salient image patches, an image can be described as a "bag-of-visualwords (BoW)" and this representation has appeared promising ...

The quality of a local search engine, such as Google and Bing Maps, heavily relies on its geographic datasets. Typically, these datasets are obtained from multiple sources, e.g., ...
This paper develops an efficient new method for 3D partial shape retrieval. First, a Monte Carlo sampling strategy is employed to extract local shape signatures from each 3D model...
Traditional 2D DCT implemented by separable 1D transform in horizontal and vertical directions does not take image orientation features in a local window into account. To improve ...
Abstract. This work presents scale invariant region detectors that apply evolved operators to extract an interest measure. We evaluate operators using their repeatability rate, and...
