This paper describes a new motion based feature extraction technique for speaker identification using orientation estimation in 2D manifolds. The motion is estimated by computing ...
Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) addresses the problem of finding images relevant to the users' information needs, based principally on low-level visual features for whic...
An improved maximum likelihood estimator for ellipse fitting based on the heteroscedastic errors-in-variables (HEIV) regression algorithm is proposed. The technique significantly ...
In this paper, we present a new method to improve global routing results. By using an amplified congestion estimate to influence a rip-up and reroute approach, we obtain substanti...
