Saliency mechanisms play an important role when visual recognition must be performed in cluttered scenes. We propose a computational definition of saliency that deviates from exis...
Feature extraction is a process that extracts salient features from observed variables. It is considered a promising alternative to overcome the problems of weight and structure o...
One fundamental task in near-neighbor search as well as other similarity matching efforts is to find a distance function that can efficiently quantify the similarity between two o...
Recent research in object recognition has demonstrated the advantages of representing objects and scenes through localized patterns such as small image templates. In this paper we...
