Many computer vision algorithms require searching a set of images for similar patches, which is a very expensive operation. In this work, we compare and evaluate a number of neares...
The ability to automatically detect `visually interesting' regions in an image has many practical applications especially in the design of active machine vision systems. This...

Optimal fractal coding consists of finding in a finite set of contractive affine mappings one whose unique fixed point is closest to the original image. Optimal fractal coding is ...
Many emerging data mining applications require a similarity join between points in a high-dimensional domain. We present a new algorithm that utilizes a new index structure, calle...
Many new database application domains such as experimental sciences and medicine are characterized by large sequences as their main form of data. Using approximate representation ...
