Query-by-example is the most popular query model for today’s image retrieval systems. A typical query image contains not only relevant objects (e.g., Eiffel Tower), but also ir...
This paper addresses the issue of optimal scale selection for circular edge extraction in the context of higher dimensional multiscale edge extraction. Based on a classification o...
Load balance is a critical issue in distributed systems, such as server grids. In this paper, we propose a Balanced Load Queue (BLQ) model, which combines the queuing theory and hy...
Intensive computations required for sensing and processing perceptual information can impose significant burdens on personal computer systems. We explore several policies for sel...
We propose a new probabilistic approach to information retrieval based upon the ideas and methods of statistical machine translation. The central ingredient in this approach is a ...
