Human visual recognition is based largely on shape, yet effectively using shapes in natural image retrieval is a challenging task. Most existing methods are based on the geometric...
Accurate estimation of vessel parameters is a prerequisite for automated visualization and analysis of healthy and diseased blood vessels. The objective of this research is to est...
In this paper, we propose a new method to cross-media semantic-based information retrieval, which combines classical text-based and content-based image retrieval techniques. This ...
This paper presents an unsupervised segmentation method for feature sequences based on competitivelearning hidden Markov models. Models associated with the nodes of the Self-Organ...
In this paper we present a method for the retrieval of images in terms of perceptual similarity. Local color information is added to the shape context descriptor in order to obtain...
