A two-stage cascaded classification approach with an optimal candidate selection scheme is proposed to recognize places using images taken by camera phones. An optimal acceptance ...
Images can affect people on an emotional level. Since the emotions that arise in the viewer of an image are highly subjective, they are rarely indexed. However there are situation...
In this paper, we study unsupervised image segmentation using wavelet-domain hidden Markov models (HMMs). We first review recent supervised Bayesian image segmentation algorithms ...
Dynamic textures (DT) are videos of non-rigid dynamical objects, such as fire and waves, which constantly change their shape and appearance over time. Most of the prior work on DT ...
To learn a new visual category from few examples, prior knowledge from unlabeled data as well as previous related categories may be useful. We develop a new method for transfer le...
