Remote sensing based on imagery has traditionally been the main tool used to extract land uses and land cover (LULC) maps. However, more powerful tools are needed in order to fulfi...
This paper describes the conceptual and algorithmic evolutions of Memory Based Parametric Equalization (MPEQ) needed to exploit the potentialities of the method within the state-o...
We describe a new boosting algorithm that is the first such algorithm to be both smooth and adaptive. These two features make possible performance improvements for many learning ...
