Generative models of pattern individuality attempt to represent the distribution of observed quantitative features, e.g., by learning parameters from a database, and then use such...
Textures are one of the basic features in visual searching and computational vision. In the literature, most of the attention has been focussed on the texture features with minima...
Mergers are procedures that, with the aid of a short random string, transform k (possibly dependent) random sources into a single random source, in a way that ensures that if one ...
The goal of clustering is to identify distinct groups in a dataset. The basic idea of model-based clustering is to approximate the data density by a mixture model, typically a mix...
Due to variations of lighting conditions, camera hardware settings, and the range of skin coloration among human beings, a pre-defined skin-color model cannot accurately capture t...
