Despite the surge of interest in data reduction techniques over the past years, no method has been proposed to date that can always achieve approximation quality preferable to that...
A customizable system for image browsing, named PIBE, is proposed. In details, PIBE provides the user with a set of browsing and personalization facilities that enable an effectiv...
In this paper, we present a set of texture features that are locally invariant to similarity or affinity. The proposed indexing scheme relies on the topographic map, a shape-based...
We propose a new quality metric for range images that is based on the multi-scale Structural Similarity (MS-SSIM) Index. The new metric operates in a manner to SSIM but allows for...
In this paper we show how the complexity of performing nearest neighbor (NNS) search on a metric space is related to the expansion of the metric space. Given a metric space we loo...
