Finding relations between image semantics and image characteristics is a problem of long standing in computer vision and related fields. Despite persistent efforts and significant advances in the field, today’s computers are still strikingly unable to achi ...
Shadows, due to their prevalence in natural images, are a long studied phenomenon in digital photography and computer vision. Indeed, their presence can be a hindrance for a number of algorithms; accurate detection (and sometimes subsequent removal) of sha ...
We address the problem of registering and discovering sensors, sensor services and other related resources in the Semantic Sensor Web. We show how to develop a semantic registry for the storage and manipulation of metadata describing such resources using a ...
Embodiments of the present invention recite a computer implemented method for recommending a product based upon skin color estimated from a single captured image. In one embodiment of the present invention, a skin color estimate, which is generated from a ...
Multimedia signals, such as digital images and video sequences, are captured, processed and finally presented to human observers who directly or indirectly judge their quality. During the data acquisition, as well as the many steps of the processing chain, ...
Skin tones, portraits in particular, are of critical importance in photography and video, but a number of factors, such as pigmentation irregularities (e.g., moles, freckles), irritation, roughness, or wrinkles can reduce their appeal. Moreover, such “defe ...
This paper presents a novel method of enhancing image quality of face pictures using 3D and spectral information. Most conventional techniques directly work on the image data, shifting the skin color to a predefined skin tone, and so do not take into accou ...
Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) has gained a lot of interest over the last two decades. The need to search and retrieve images from databases, based on information (“features”) extracted from the image itself, is becoming increasingly important. CBIR ...
The relation between sensor resolution and the optics of a digital camera is determined by the Nyquist sampling theorem: the sampling frequency should be larger than twice the maximum frequency of the image content coming out of the optical system. If a lo ...
As the Sensor Internet starts to become reality, increasingly heterogeneous sensor networks are becoming interconnected into federated sensor networks and provide huge volumes of sensor data for a variety of applications to large user communities, such as ...
