Approaches based on local features and descriptors are increasingly used for the task of object recognition due to their robustness with regard to occlusions and geometrical defor...
Two fast illumination invariant image retrieval methods for scenes comprising textured objects with variable illumination are introduced. Both methods are based on texture gradien...
Retrieval and indexing in multimedia databases has been an active topic both in the Information Retrieval and computer vision communities for a long time. In this paper we propose...
In this paper, we present a new voting-based object labeling method that is robust to background clutter. The conventional simple voting method shows very poor performance under c...
We aim to improve the accuracy of handwritten Chinese character recognition using two advanced techniques: discriminative feature extraction (DFE) and discriminative learning quad...
