The Gaussian kernel has played a central role in multi-scale methods for feature extraction and matching. In this paper, a method for shaping the filter using the local image stru...
A new method termed the vertex representation is presented for approximating the shapes of objects of arbitrary dimensionality d (e.g., 20, 30, etc.) with orthogonal (d - 1)-dimen...
In this paper, we present a fast and optimal method for the lossy encoding of object boundaries which are given as 8-connect chain codes. We approximate the boundary by a polygon ...

Abstract-- We present an original graph embedding to speedup distance-range and k-nearest neighbor queries on static and/or dynamic objects located on a (weighted) graph. Our metho...
We resolve an open question raised by Feige & Scheideler by showing that the best known approximation algorithm for flow shops is essentially tight with respect to the used low...
