We address segmentation of an image into patches that have an underlying salient surface-roughness. Three intrinsic images are derived: reflectance, shading and metatexture images...
—This paper presents a novel block-based fast compression (BFC) algorithm for compound images that contain graphics, text and natural images. The images are divided to blocks, wh...
Cooper, Dyer and Frieze studied the problem of sampling H-colourings (nearly) uniformly at random. Special cases of this problem include sampling colourings and independent sets a...
A wrapped feature selection process is proposed in the context of robust clustering based on Laplace mixture models. The clustering approach we consider is a generalization of the...
In bio-medical domains there are many applications involving the modelling of multivariate time series (MTS) data. One area that has been largely overlooked so far is the particul...
