This paper introduces a texture representation suitable for recognizing images of textured surfaces under a wide range of transformations, including viewpoint changes and nonrigid...
FingerCode has been shown to be an effective representation to capture both the local and global information in a fingerprint. However, the performance of FingerCode is influenced...
We propose a scalable distributed data structure (SDDS) called SD-Rtree. We intend our structure for point and window queries over possibly large spatial datasets distributed on c...
This paper describes an offline handwriting recognition system for Amharic words based on lexicon. The system computes direction fields of scanned handwritten documents, from whic...
With the proliferation of camera phones, new information retrieval applications will emerge. The image of a scene captured by a camera phone can be a query to a remote server to i...
