Novel similarity measures for object recognition and image matching are proposed, which are inherently robust against occlusion, clutter, and nonlinear illumination changes. They c...
This paper presents an objects-based framework for building collaborative applications. The framework consists of ten objects: box, boxObject, environment, user, role, session, br...
In this paper we present a general framework for object detection and segmentation. Using a bottom-up unsupervised merging algorithm, a region-based hierarchy that represents the ...
We propose to incorporate a priori geometric constraints in a 3?D stereo reconstruction scheme to cope with the many cases where image information alone is not sufficient to accur...
Lately the advances in centralized database management systems show a trend towards supporting rank-aware query operators, like top-k, that enable users to retrieve only the most ...
