In this paper, a new deformable contour method derived from a constrained contour energy minimization framework is presented. By imposing a constraint of region, which can be any ...
We present a new shape-from-distortion framework for recovering specular (reflective/refractive) surfaces. While most existing approaches rely on accurate correspondences between 2...
In the area of image retrieval, post-retrieval processing is often used to refine the retrieval results to better satisfy users’ requirements. Previous methods mainly focus on p...
Relevance feedback has been proposed as an important technique to boost the retrieval performance in content-based image retrieval (CBIR). However, since there exists a semantic g...
In recent years Kernel Principal Component Analysis (Kernel PCA) has gained much attention because of its ability to capture nonlinear image features, which are particularly impor...
