Most image retrieval systems only allow a fragment of text or an example image as a query. Most users have more complex information needs that are not easily expressed in either of...
—This paper describes a novel compound Markov random field model capable of realistic modelling of multispectral bidirectional texture function, which is currently the most adva...
In this paper, we describe the Toshiba event detection system for TRECVID surveillance event detection task [1]. Our system consists of four components: (1) a flexible and robust ...
We claim and present arguments to the effect that a large class of manifold learning algorithms that are essentially local and can be framed as kernel learning algorithms will suf...
We present a semi-parametric latent variable model based technique for density modelling, dimensionality reduction and visualization. Unlike previous methods, we estimate the late...
