The problem of identifying approximately duplicate objects in databases is an essential step for the information integration process. Most existing approaches have relied on gener...
When designing curves on surfaces the need arises to approximate a given noisy target shape by a smooth fitting shape. We discuss the problem of fitting a B-spline curve to a poin...
The Self Organizing Map (SOM) involves neural networks, that learns the features of input data thorough unsupervised, competitive neighborhood learning. In the SOM learning algorit...
Technical term translations are important for cross-lingual information retrieval. In many languages, new technical terms have a common origin rendered with different spelling of ...
In this paper, we present an approach toward pedestrian detection and tracking from infrared imagery using joint shape and appearance cues. A layered representation is first intr...
