This paper presents three reconfigurable computing approaches for a Shape-Adaptive Template Matching (SA-TM) method to retrieve arbitrarily shaped objects within images or video f...
Unlike its predecessors, MPEG-7 standardizes multimedia metadata description. By providing robust descriptors and an effective system for storing them, MPEG-7 is designed to provi...
We present a model for the lips using the Active Shape Model (ASM) based on B?ezier Curves which can capture the dynamics of the lips efficiently. The curves are defined only by a...
Utilization of an acoustic camera for range measurements is a key advantage for 3-D shape recovery of underwater targets by opti-acoustic stereo imaging, where the associated epip...
A key component of BM25 contributing to its success is its sub-linear term frequency (TF) normalization formula. The scale and shape of this TF normalization component is controll...
