The topics of similarity and dissimilarity measures are discussed in detail. The chapter starts
with definitions of similarity and dissimilarity measures and lists the requirements for them to …

With the rapid growth in the amount of video data, efficient video indexing and retrieval
methods have become one of the most critical challenges in multimedia management. For …

Generative adversarial networks (GANs) have been recently proposed for the synthesis of
RF micro-Doppler signatures to mitigate the problem of low sample support and enable the …

The cosine similarity measure is often applied after discriminant analysis in pattern
recognition. This paper first analyzes why the cosine similarity is preferred by establishing …

Image matching aims to find a similar area of the small image in the large image, which is
one of the key steps in image fusion and vision-based navigation; however, most matching …

In this paper, we propose a novel cross-trees structure to perform the non-local cost
aggregation strategy, and the cross-trees structure consists of a horizontal-tree and a vertical …

Stereo matching is a crucial and challenging step in binocular vision measurement. Robust
zero-mean normalized cross-correlation (ZNCC) is widely used for stereo matching …

In this approach, we will process a self-calibration problem of camera characterized by
varying parameters. Our approach is based on estimating of homography of the plane at …

This work proposes a method of camera self-calibration having varying intrinsic parameters
from a sequence of images of an unknown 3D object. The projection of two points of the 3D …

Fire disasters will cause severe damage to human properties and bring terrible mental and
physical injury if they cannot be detected and extinguished in time. As traditional fire …
