Local features have proven very useful for recognition.
Manifold learning has proven to be a very powerful tool in
data analysis. However, manifold learning application for
imag...
Palmprint recognition, as a reliable personal identity check method, has been receiving increasing attention during recent years. According to previous work, local texture analysis...
This paper presents an unsupervised texture segmentation method, which uses distributions of local binary patterns and pattern contrasts for measuring the similarity of adjacent i...
In this paper, we propose a new rotation-invariant image retrieval system based on steerable pyramids and the concept of angular alignment across scales. First, we define energy-b...
Image categorization could be treated as an effective solution to enable keyword-based image retrieval. In this paper, we propose a novel image categorization approach by learnin...
