In some computer vision applications, matching between shapes and colors are required. There are lots of similarity measures for shapes, especially curves, but as far as we know there are not many that deal with shapes and colors at the same time. In this ...
Our research addresses the need for an efficient, effective, and interactive access to large-scale image collections. Image retrieval needs are evolving beyond the capabilities of the traditional indexing based on manual annotation, and the most desirable ...
A semisupervised kernel deformation function, including spatial similarity, is proposed for the classification of remote sensing (RS) images. The method exploits the characteristic of these images, in which spatially nearby points are likely to belong to t ...
The energy performance of a building is strongly influenced by its level of solar exposure, in turn affected by the climate, built context, and building morphological characteristics. Since these are typically fixed at the early- design phase, performance ...
Distance-bounding is a practical solution to prevent relay attacks. Yet, security models are not well-established. We will briefly show recent techniques that expose serious distance-frauds, mafia-frauds, and/or terrorist-frauds on distance-bounding protoc ...
In this thesis, we propose novel solutions to similarity learning problems on collaborative networks. Similarity learning is essential for modeling and predicting the evolution of collaborative networks. In addition, similarity learning is used to perform ...
SIFT-like local feature descriptors are ubiquitously employed in computer vision applications such as content-based retrieval, video analysis, copy detection, object recognition, photo tourism, and 3D reconstruction. Feature descriptors can be designed to ...

Choosing a distance preserving measure or metric is fun- damental to many signal processing algorithms, such as k- means, nearest neighbor searches, hashing, and compressive sensing. In virtually all these applications, the efficiency of the signal process ...
Free-viewpoint television is expected to create a more natural and interactive viewing experience by providing the ability to interactively change the viewpoint to enjoy a 3D scene. To render new virtual viewpoints, free-viewpoint systems rely on view synt ...
This paper presents a new face detection method. We train a model that predicts the Jaccard distance between a sample sub-window and the ground truth face location. This model produces continuous outputs as opposite to the binary output produced by the wid ...
