In this paper we describe a method of learning hierarchical representations for describing and recognizing gestures expressed as one and two arm movements using competitive learni...
Global region-based active contours, like the Chan-Vese model, often make strong assumptions on the intensity distributions of the searched object and background, preventing their ...
In this paper, we propose a novel technique for video shot segmentation and classification based on the Singular Value Decomposition (SVD). For the input video sequence, we create...
In this paper, fractal transforms are employed with the aim of image recognition. It is known that such transforms are highly sensitive to distortions like a small shift of an ima...
A modern approach to manage multimedia databases is content-based retrieval. Especially in image databases graphical features like color, texture or shape can be used efficiently ...
