We describe a system which automatically annotates images with a set of prespecified keywords, based on supervised color classification of pixels into N prespecified classes using simple pixelwise operations. The conditional ...

Objective: Authors propose a semi-automatic segmentation algorithm for three-dimensional prostate boundary detection from trans-rectal ultrasound images. As a part of brachytherapy treatment with seeds for early stage ...

This paper presents a fault diagnosis system for airplane engines using Bayesian networks (BN) and distributed particle swarm optimization (PSO). The PSO is inherently parallel, works for large domains and does not trap ...

We present algorithms for automatic image annotation and retrieval based on color, shape, texture, and any combination of two or more of these features. Pixel- or region (object)-based color; region-based shape; and block- ...

We propose a new method for combined color image segmentation and edge linking. The image is first segmented based on color information only. The segmentation map is modeled by a Gibbs random field, to ensure formation of ...

We propose a new partial shape recognition algorithm by sub-matrix matching using a proximity-based shape representation. Given one or more example object templates and a number of candidate object regions in an image, ...

One night, my friend and I went to a night market in Taiwan and we were amazed by the great variety of adorable and interesting merchandise items, such as: puppets, stationery, t-shirts, and gadgets that were imprinted ...
