We propose a novel approach to shape-based image retrieval that builds upon a similarity criterion which is based on the average point set distance. Compared to traditional techni...
In high-dimensional and complex metric spaces, determining the nearest neighbor (NN) of a query object ? can be a very expensive task, because of the poor partitioning operated by...
We present a novel multiscale approach for flow visualization. We define a local alignment tensor that encodes a measure for alignment to the direction of a given flow field. This...
Reliable and complete blood-vessel segmentation is still a challenging problem. This is especially true in the presence of morphologic changes resulting from atherosclerotic disea...
This paper introduces a novel approach for the recognition of a wide vocabulary of Arabic handwritten words. Note that there is an essential difference between the global and anal...
