A Unified Curvature Definition for Regular, Polygonal, and Digital Planar CurvesSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 80 - Trang 104-124 - 2008
Hairong Liu, Longin Jan Latecki, Wenyu Liu
In this paper, we propose a new definition of curvature, called visual
curvature. It is based on statistics of the extreme points of the height
functions computed over all directions. By gradually ignoring relatively small
heights, a multi-scale curvature is obtained. The theoretical properties and the
experiments presented demonstrate that multi-scale visual curvature is stable,
even in the prese... hiện toàn bộ
Nonlocal Image and Movie DenoisingSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 76 - Trang 123-139 - 2007
Antoni Buades, Bartomeu Coll, Jean-Michel Morel
Neighborhood filters are nonlocal image and movie filters which reduce the noise
by averaging similar pixels. The first object of the paper is to present a
unified theory of these filters and reliable criteria to compare them to other
filter classes. A CCD noise model will be presented justifying the involvement
of neighborhood filters. A classification of neighborhood filters will be
proposed, in... hiện toàn bộ
Improving Bag-of-Features for Large Scale Image SearchSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 87 - Trang 316-336 - 2009
Hervé Jégou, Matthijs Douze, Cordelia Schmid
This article improves recent methods for large scale image search. We first
analyze the bag-of-features approach in the framework of approximate nearest
neighbor search. This leads us to derive a more precise representation based on
Hamming embedding (HE) and weak geometric consistency constraints (WGC). HE
provides binary signatures that refine the matching based on visual words. WGC
filters matc... hiện toàn bộ
Style-Hallucinated Dual Consistency Learning: A Unified Framework for Visual Domain GeneralizationSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - - Trang 1-17 - 2023
Yuyang Zhao, Zhun Zhong, Na Zhao, Nicu Sebe, Gim Hee Lee
Domain shift widely exists in the visual world, while modern deep neural
networks commonly suffer from severe performance degradation under domain shift
due to poor generalization ability, which limits real-world applications. The
domain shift mainly lies in the limited source environmental variations and the
large distribution gap between source and unseen target data. To this end, we
propose a u... hiện toàn bộ
Generative Adversarial Network Applications in Industry 4.0: A ReviewSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - - Trang 1-60 - 2024

The breakthrough brought by generative adversarial networks (GANs) in computer
vision (CV) applications has gained a lot of attention in different fields due
to their ability to capture the distribution of a dataset and generate
high-quality similar images. From one side, this technology has been rapidly
adopted as an alternative to traditional applications and introduced novel
perspectives in dat... hiện toàn bộ
Beyond Covariance: SICE and Kernel Based Visual Feature RepresentationSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 129 - Trang 300-320 - 2020
Jianjia Zhang, Lei Wang, Luping Zhou, Wanqing Li
The past several years have witnessed increasing research interest on
covariance-based feature representation. Originally proposed as a region
descriptor, it has now been used as a general representation in various
recognition tasks, demonstrating promising performance. However, covariance
matrix has some inherent shortcomings such as singularity in the case of small
sample, limited capability in ... hiện toàn bộ
Unconstrained Still/Video-Based Face Verification with Deep Convolutional Neural NetworksSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 126 - Trang 272-291 - 2017

Over the last 5 years, methods based on Deep Convolutional Neural Networks
(DCNNs) have shown impressive performance improvements for object detection and
recognition problems. This has been made possible due to the availability of
large annotated datasets, a better understanding of the non-linear mapping
between input images and class labels as well as the affordability of GPUs. In
this paper, we... hiện toàn bộ
