We apply the dead-end elimination (DEE) strategy from protein design as a heuristic for the max-flow/min-cut formulation of the image segmentation problem. DEE combines aspects of...
Fingerprint indexing is an efficient technique that greatly improves the performance of fingerprint based person authentication systems by reducing the number of comparison. In th...
When using relevance feedback for the interactive categorization of images, the strategy employed by the system to select images to be presented to the user is of paramount import...
JPEG 2000 is a lossy integer-to-integer transform-based compression method that first quantizes the separable 2-D wavelet transform coefficients, then entropy codes them. The imag...
Color palettes are an important tool for color image analysis, since they are the initial point of different techniques such as quantization or indexing. This paper presents a new...
