While empirical evaluations are a common research method in some areas of Artificial Intelligence (AI), others still neglect this approach. This article outlines both the opportun...
External sorting--the process of sorting a file that is too large to fit into the computer's internal memory and must be stored externally on disks--is a fundamental subroutin...
We propose a new efficient indexing scheme, called the HG-tree, to support content-based retrieval in image databases. Image content is represented by a point in a multidimensional...
Tracking regions in an image sequence is a challenging and di cult problem in image processing and computer vision, and at the same time, one that has many important applications:...
We investigate the use of linear and nonlinear principal manifolds for learning low-dimensional representations for visual recognition. Several leading techniques: Principal Compo...
