We investigate the properties of a metric between two distributions, the Earth Mover's Distance (EMD), for content-based image retrieval. The EMD is based on the minimal cost ...
Depth from Focus (DFF) and Depth from Defocus (DFD) methods are theoretically unified with the geometric triangulation principle. Fundamentally, the depth sensitivities of DFF and ...
Image restoration using resolution expansion is important in many areas of image processing. This paper introduces a restoration method for low-resolution text images which produce...
In multistage cutting stock problems (CSP) the cutting process is distributed over several successive stages. Every stage except the last one produces intermediate products. The l...
The generation of better label placement configurations in maps is a problem that comes up in automated cartographic production. The objective of a good label placement is to displ...
