When given a small sample, we show that classification with SVM can be considerably enhanced by using a kernel function learned from the training data prior to discrimination. Thi...
Near-duplicate keyframes (NDK) play a unique role in large-scale video search, news topic detection and tracking. In this paper, we propose a novel NDK retrieval approach by explo...
An iconic image database is a collection of symbolic images where each image is a collection of labeled point features called icons. A method is presented to support fast position...
Scalable video allows to decode a single video stream, or part of it, at varying quality of service (QoS). Since the amount of calculations scales with the QoS, energy dissipation ...
We propose an algorithm that groups points similarly to how human observers do. It is simple, totally unsupervised and able to find clusters of complex and not necessarily convex s...
