We treat feature selection and basis selection in a unified framework by introducing the masking matrix. If one considers feature selection as finding a binary mask vector that de...
Raster maps are widely available and contain useful geographic features such as labels and road lines. To extract the geographic features, most research work relies on a manual st...
This paper introduces a new mid-level feature, the consistent line cluster, for use in content-based image retrieval. The color, orientation, and spatial features of line segments...
Semantic video indexing is the first step towards automatic video retrieval and personalization. We propose a data-driven stochastic modeling approach to perform both video segmen...
The focus of this work is on using texture information for searching, browsing and retrieving images from a large database. In the wavelet approaches, texture is characterized by ...
