It is now accepted that the most eective video shot retrieval is based on indexing and retrieving clips using multiple, parallel modalities such as text-matching, image-matching a...
Traditional stereo algorithms either explicitly use the frontal parallel plane assumption by only considering position (zero-order) disparity when computing similarity measures of ...
Shock graphs have emerged as a powerful generic 2-D shape representation. However, most approaches typically assume that the silhouette has been correctly segmented. In this paper,...
Sign language recognition constitutes a challenging field of research in computer vision. Common problems like overlap, ambiguities, and minimal pairs occur frequently and require...
Vector quantization (VQ) is an elementary technique for image compression. However, searching for the nearest codeword in a codebook is time-consuming. The existing schemes focus o...
