This paper proposes an efficient skin-color and template based technique for automatic ear detection in a side face image. The technique first separates skin regions from nonski...
In this paper, we propose a semantic-meaningful approach for region-based image retrieval in image database. Our retrieval system is based on wavelet transform for its decompositi...
This paper presents a new use of the Curvelet transform as a multiscale method for indexing linear singularities and curved handwritten shapes in documents images. As it belongs t...
For extracting the characteristics a specific geographic entity, and notably a place, we propose to use dynamic Extreme Tagging Systems in combination with the classic approach of...
