In this paper, we propose a method for extracting image features which utilizes 2 nd order statistics, i.e., spatial and orientational auto-correlations of local gradients. It enab...
Clustering is an old research topic in data mining and machine learning communities. Most of the traditional clustering methods can be categorized local or global ones. In this pa...
We present a technique for rapid capture of high quality bidirectional reflection distribution functions(BRDFs) of surface points. Our method represents the BRDF at each point by ...
Clustering is a data mining problem which finds dense regions in a sparse multi-dimensional data set. The attribute values and ranges of these regions characterize the clusters. ...
: Computational classification of proteins using methods such as string kernels and Fisher-SVM has demonstrated great success. However, the resulting models do not offer an immedia...
