We formulate the problem of salient region detection in images as Markov random walks performed on images represented as graphs. While the global properties of the image are extra...
Biological images have the potential to reveal complex signatures that may not be amenable to morphological modeling in terms of shape, location, texture, and color. An effective ...
Abstract—In future massively distributed service-based computational systems, resources will span many locations, organisations and platforms. In such systems, the ability to all...
