We propose a novel approach to shape-based image retrieval that builds upon a similarity criterion which is based on the average point set distance. Compared to traditional techni...
The paper studies the impact of several lock manager designs on the overhead imposed to a persistent programming language by automated object locking. Our study reveals that a loc...
Learning dominant motion patterns or activities from a video is an important surveillance problem, especially in crowded environments like markets, subways etc., where tracking of...
Locating moving objects in a video sequence is the first step of many computer vision applications. Among the various motion-detection techniques, background subtraction methods a...
Active contours were proposed by Kass et al. as a way to represent the contours of an image. Although the method is simple, one of its shortcomings is its inability to converge in...
