The Generalized Local Discriminant Bases (GLDB) algorithm proposed by Kumar, Ghosh and Crawford in [4], is a effective feature extraction method for spectral data. It identifies g...
We present a new algorithm for color image quantization based on human color perception properties. We construct two kinds of map by analyzing the spatial color distributions to t...
Abstract. This paper explores how to predict query difficulty for contextual image retrieval. We reformulate the problem as the task of predicting how difficult to represent a quer...
Traditional 2D DCT implemented by separable 1D transform in horizontal and vertical directions does not take image orientation features in a local window into account. To improve ...
This paper describes how a visual system can automatically define features of interest from the observation of a large enough number of natural images. The principle complements t...
