We present a new family of 2D orthogonal wavelets which uses quincunx sampling. The orthogonal refinement filters have a simple analytical expression in the Fourier domain as a fu...
In this paper, we propose a novel component-wise smoothing algorithm that constructs a hierarchy (or family) of smoothened log-likelihood surfaces. Our approach first smoothens th...
The visual appearance of an image is closely associated with its low-level features. Identifying the set of features that best characterizes the image is useful for tasks such as ...
SVM based image retrieval suffers from the scarcity of labelled samples. In this paper, this problem is solved by incorporating prior knowledge into SVM. Firstly, some prior knowl...
We introduce an Nth-order extension of the Riesz transform in d dimensions. We prove that this generalized transform has the following remarkable properties: shift-invariance, sca...
