We consider the use of top-points for object retrieval. These points are based on scale-space and catastrophe theory, and are invariant under gray value scaling and offset as well ...
We describe a 2.5D layered representation for visual motion analysis. The representation provides a global interpretation of image motion in terms of several spatially localized fo...
The calculation of local features at points of interest is a vital part of many current image retrieval and object detection systems. The wavelet-based interest point detector by ...
In this paper, we propose a novel component-wise smoothing algorithm that constructs a hierarchy (or family) of smoothened log-likelihood surfaces. Our approach first smoothens th...
Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) has been widely used to align and compare two sequences. DTW can efficiently deal with local warp or deformation between sequences. However, it can'...
