The quadratic form distance (QFD) has been utilized as an effective similarity function in multimedia retrieval, in particular, when a histogram representation of objects is used...
Abstract. A critical step in automatic fingerprint recognition is the accurate segmentation of fingerprint images. The objective of fingerprint segmentation is to decide which part...
We present an algorithm that extracts curves from a set of edgels within a specific class in a decreasing order of their ``length''. The algorithm inherits the perceptual...
Shape comparisons of two groups of objects often have two goals: to create a classifier to separate the groups and to provide information that shows differences between classes. We...
