Given two shapes, the correspondence between distinct visual features is the basis for most alignment processes and shape similarity measures. This paper presents an approach intr...
In this paper, we propose a two-level integrated model for accurate face shape alignment. At the low level, the shape is split into a set of line segments which serve as the nodes ...
The two major problems raised by a region-based image retrieval system are the automatic definition and description of regions. In this paper we first present a technique of unsup...
In progressive joint source-channel coding of images, experiments show that optimizing rate allocation according to PSNR criteria and according to rate criteria produce essentiall...
In kernel density estimation methods, an approximation of the data probability density function is achieved by locating a kernel function at each data location. The smoothness of ...
