We introduce a class of geodesic distances and extend the K-means clustering algorithm to employ this distance metric. Empirically, we demonstrate that our geodesic K-means algori...
In this paper, we present a set of texture features that are locally invariant to similarity or affinity. The proposed indexing scheme relies on the topographic map, a shape-based...
In this paper, we build multi-resolution source codes using entropy constrained dithered scalar quantizers. We demonstrate that for n-dimensional random vectors, dithering followe...
In this paper, we consider the problem of stereo matching using loopy belief propagation. Unlike previous methods which focus on the original spatial resolution, we hierarchically...
—Individuals in social networks are often organized under some hierarchy such as a command structure. In many cases, when this structure is unknown, there is a need to discover h...
