One of the important steps in gradient-based edge detection is thresholding, e.g., hysteresis thresholding in the Canny detector. Traditional approaches use gradient magnitude as ...
Training a classifier for object category recognition using images on the Internet is an attractive approach due to its scalability. However, a big challenge in this approach is ...
This paper presents a new approach to estimating the readability of handwritten text. The estimation task is posed as a regression problem. A novel Support Vector Regression (SVR)...
— Gait recognition has recently gained attention as an effective approach to identify individuals at a distance from a camera. Most existing gait recognition algorithms assume th...
— In this work we show that a metaheuristic, the Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS), can be effectively used in order to improve the performance of the hardware–friendly versio...
