A novel algorithm is proposed to learn pattern similarities for texture image retrieval. Similar patterns in di erent texture classes are grouped into a cluster in the feature spac...
We propose a novel approach to shape-based image retrieval that builds upon a similarity criterion which is based on the average point set distance. Compared to traditional techni...
A new method for three dimensional (3D) genus-zero shape classification is proposed. It conformally maps a 3D mesh onto a unit sphere and uses normal vectors to generate a spheric...
We present Asirra (Figure 1), a CAPTCHA that asks users to identify cats out of a set of 12 photographs of both cats and dogs. Asirra is easy for users; user studies indicate it c...
