Calculation of object similarity, for example through a distance function, is a common part of data mining and machine learning algorithms. This calculation is crucial for efficie...
Fast query processing of complex objects, e.g. spatial or uncertain objects, depends on efficient spatial pruning of the objects’ approximations, which are typically minimum bou...
Shape indexing is a way of making rapid associations between features detected in an image and object models that could have produced them. When model databases are large, the use...
Human identity recognition is an important yet underaddressed
problem. Previous methods were strictly limited
to high quality photographs, where the principal techniques
heavily...
The problem of finding a collection of solutions to a combinatorial problem that is optimal in terms of an inter-solution objective function exists in many application settings. F...
