High retrieval precision in content-based image retrieval can be attained by adopting relevance feedback mechanisms. These mechanisms require that the user judges the quality of t...
Indexing moving objects is a fundamental issue in spatiotemporal databases. In this paper, we propose an adaptive Lazy-Update Grid-based index (LUGrid, for short) that minimizes th...
In this paper we explore the use of shapes of noses for
performing partial human biometrics. The basic idea is to
represent nasal surfaces using indexed collections of isocurves,...
