This paper presents an adaptative algorithm for the segmentation of color images suited for document image analysis. The algorithm is based on a serialization of the k-means algor...
A broad class of boosting algorithms can be interpreted as performing coordinate-wise gradient descent to minimize some potential function of the margins of a data set. This class...
A new approach is presented for partitioning an image database by classifying and indexing the convex hull shapes and the number of region concavities. The result is a significant...
Hierarchical topic taxonomies have proliferated on the World Wide Web [5, 18], and exploiting the output space decompositions they induce in automated classification systems is an...
Time synchronization is a crucial component of a large class of sensor network applications, traditionally implemented as a standalone middleware service that provides a virtual gl...
