This paper introduces a new operator to characterize a point in an image in a distinctive and invariant way. The robust recognition of points is a key technique in computer vision:...
Shock graphs have emerged as a powerful generic 2-D shape representation. However, most approaches typically assume that the silhouette has been correctly segmented. In this paper,...
This paper describes a method for melody detection in polyphonic musical signals. Our approach starts by obtaining a set of pitch candidates for each time frame, with recourse to ...
In this paper, we propose a Web image search result organizing method to facilitate user browsing. We formalize this problem as a salient image region pattern extraction problem. ...
The bidirectional texture function (BTF) describes rough texture appearance variations due to varying illumination and viewing conditions. Such a function consists of thousands of ...
