We prove that every n-point metric space of negative type (and, in particular, every npoint subset of L1) embeds into a Euclidean space with distortion O( log n ? log log n), a r...
In this paper, a new approach on image registration is presented. We introduce a novel conception- normal vector information (NVI) - to evaluate the similarity between two images. ...
Abstract. We consider the problem of fitting an n × n distance matrix M by a tree metric T. We give a factor O(min{n1/p , (k log n)1/p }) approximation algorithm for finding the...
A human iris coding technique is reported based upon differences in the power spectrum of fragments from normalized iris images. The procedure has been applied to a set of 2174 im...
We propose novel approaches for optimizing the detection performance in spoken language recognition. Two objective functions are designed to directly relate model parameters to tw...
