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...
In this paper we present a new density estimation algorithm using mixtures of mixtures of Gaussians. The new algorithm overcomes the limitations of the popular Expectation Maximiza...
A fully automatic 3D-2D articulated registration algorithm for aligning a whole-body human geometry to a 2D X-ray image is presented. Domain prior in the form of a hierarchical mo...
The automatic computation of features for content-based image retrieval still has difficulties to represent the concepts the user has in mind. Whenever an additional learning stra...
Modeling objects by probability density functions (pdf) is a new powerful method to represent complex objects in databases. By representing an object as a pdf, e.g. a Gaussian, it...
