This article presents a method aiming at quantifying the visual similarity between an image and a class model. This kind of problem is recurrent in many applications such as objec...
In a pattern classification setup, image segmentation is achieved by assigning each pixel to one of two classes: object or background. The special case of vessel segmentation is c...
We present a new noise model for color channels for statistical change detection. Based on this noise modeling, we estimate the distribution of Euclidean distances between the pix...
This paper presents a novel method for quickly filtering range data points to make object recognition in large 3D data sets feasible. The general approach, called "3D cueing,...
This paper introduces three new contributions to the problems of image classification and image search. First, we propose a new image patch quantization algorithm. Other competitiv...
