Two fast illumination invariant image retrieval methods for scenes comprising textured objects with variable illumination are introduced. Both methods are based on texture gradien...
In this paper we develop a novel contrast-invariant appearance detection model. The goal is to classify object-specific images (e.g. face images) from generic background patches. ...
A major problem in the field of content-based image retrieval is the lack of a common performance measure which allows the researcher to compare different image retrieval systems ...
Statistical methods, such as independent component analysis, have been successful in learning local low-level features from natural image data. Here we extend these methods for le...
Perceptual experiments indicate that corners and curvature are very important features in the process of recognition. This paper presents a new method to detect rotational symmetr...
