While global methods for matching shapes to images have recently been proposed, so far research has focused on small deformations of a fixed template. In this paper we present the...
Abstract. Color histogram is one of the most widely used visual feature representations in content-based retrieval. When processing the image/video data in the JPEG/MPEG compressed...
—Effective image retrieval by content from database requires that visual image properties are used instead of textual labels to properly index and recover pictorial data. Retriev...
We present a method for object class detection in images based on global shape. A distance measure for elastic shape matching is derived, which is invariant to scale and rotation,...
—Many sensor network protocols in the literature implicitly assume that sensor nodes are deployed uniformly inside a simple geometric region. When the real deployment deviates fr...
