Tasks of data mining and information retrieval depend on a good distance function for measuring similarity between data instances. The most effective distance function must be for...
Bag-of-features (BoF) deriving from local keypoints has recently appeared promising for object and scene classification. Whether BoF can naturally survive the challenges such as ...
Multidimensional access methods have shown high potential for significant performance improvements in various application domains. However, only few approaches have made their way...

We investigate the problem of learning optimal descriptors for a given classification task. Many hand-crafted descriptors have been proposed in the literature for measuring visua...
In real-world applications of visual recognition, many factors—such as pose, illumination, or image quality—can cause a significant mismatch between the source domain on whic...
