There have been recent interests in studying the "goal" behind a user's Web query, so that this goal can be used to improve the quality of a search engine's re...
Visual codebook based quantization of robust appearance descriptors extracted from local image patches is an effective means of capturing image statistics for texture analysis and...
This paper addresses variational supervised texture segmentation. The main contributions are twofold. First, the proposed method circumvents a major problem related to classical t...
Computer vision and pattern recognition systems play an important role in our lives by means of automated face detection, face and gesture recognition, and estimation of gender an...
Deformable contours are now widely used in image segmentation, using different models, criteria and numeric schemes. Some theoretical comparisons between few deformable model met...
