In landscape photography, distant objects often appear blurred with a blue color cast, a degradation caused by atmospheric haze. To enhance image contrast, pleasantness and inform...
In this paper, we propose a color image enhancement method that uses retinex with a robust envelope to improve the visual appearance of an image. The word "retinex" is h...
In this paper we present a preliminary study of palmprint image synthesis and propose a framework for synthesizing palmprint texture. We first extract principal lines of real pal...
The Carnegie Mellon University Informedia group has enjoyed consistent success with TRECVID interactive search using traditional storyboard interfaces for shot-based retrieval. Fo...
We analyse the kinematics of probabilistic term weights at retrieval time for di erent Information Retrieval models. We present four models based on di erent notions of probabilis...
