We consider Zador's asymptotic formula for the distortion-rate function for a variable-rate vector quantizer in the high-rate case. This formula involves the differential ent...
The proliferation of video content on the web makes similarity detection an indispensable tool in web data management, searching, and navigation. In this paper, we propose a numbe...
In this paper, we show that the LVQ learning algorithm converges to locally asymptotic stable equilibria of an ordinary differential equation. We show that the learning algorithm ...
There has recently been significant interest in using repions based on abstractions of Blum's skeleton into a graph, for qualitative shape matching. The application of these ...
The medial surface of a volumetric object is of significant interest for shape analysis. However, its numerical computation can be subtle. Methods based on Voronoi techniques prese...
