The complexity and detail of geometric scenes that are used in today’s computer animated films and interactive games have reached a level where the manual creation by tradition...
In object recognition, soft-assignment coding enjoys computational efficiency and conceptual simplicity. However, its classification performance is inferior to the newly develop...
