In the light of image retrieval evolving from text annotation to content-based and from standalone applications to web-based search engines, we foresee the need for deploying cont...
This paper introduces a texture representation suitable for recognizing images of textured surfaces under a wide range of transformations, including viewpoint changes and nonrigid...
Extraction of stable local invariant features is very important in many computer vision applications, such as image matching, object recognition and image retrieval. Most existing...
Content-based retrieval and recognition of graphic images requires good models for symbol representation, able to identify those features providing the most relevant information a...
Active Shape Model (ASM) is one of the most powerful statistical tools for face image alignment. In this paper, we propose a novel method, called Bunch-Active Shape Model (Bunch-AS...
