The distribution of the wavelet coefficients in 2-D discrete wavelet transform (DWT) subspaces can be well described by a Gaussian mixture statistical model. In this paper, a secr...
This paper approaches the problem of finding correspondences between images in which there are large changes in viewpoint, scale and illumination. Recent work has shown that scale...
We address the problem of shape based classification. We interpret the shape of an object as a probability distribution governing the location of the points of the object. An imag...
In this paper, we describe a nonlinear image representation based on divisive normalization that is designed to match the statistical properties of photographic images, as well as...
Photometric invariance is a desired property for color image descriptors. It ensures that the description has a certain robustness with respect to scene incidental variations such...
