In this paper, we draw an analogy between image retrieval and text retrieval and propose a visual phrase-based approach to retrieve images containing desired objects. The visual p...
A statistical representation of three-dimensional shapes is introduced, based on a novel four-dimensional feature. The feature parameterizes the intrinsic geometrical relation of ...
We present a general framework for characterizing the object identity in a single image or a group of images with each image containing a transformed version of the object, with a...
There are three basic segmentation schemes for compound image compression: object-based, layer-based, and block-based. This work discusses the relative advantages of each scheme a...
Combinatorial graph cut algorithms have been successfully applied to a wide range of problems in vision and graphics. This paper focusses on possibly the simplest application of gr...
