We have witnessed great interest and a wealth of promise in content-based image retrieval
as an emerging technology. While the last decade laid foundation to such promise, it also …

This paper surveys the state of the art on automatic road extraction for GIS update from
aerial and satellite imagery. It presents a bibliography of nearly 250 references related to …

A new universal estimator of divergence is presented for multidimensional continuous
densities based on k-nearest-neighbor (k-NN) distances. Assuming independent and …

We develop new metrics for texture similarity that accounts for human visual perception and
the stochastic nature of textures. The metrics rely entirely on local image statistics and allow …

Content-based image retrieval (CBIR), which is aimed to search images from a large size
image database based on visual contents of images in an efficient and accurate way as per …

In the framework of texture image retrieval, a new family of stochastic multivariate modeling
is proposed based on Gaussian Copula and wavelet decompositions. We take advantage of …

Validation is the assessment of the match between a model's predictions and empirical
observations. It can be complex when either data or the prediction is characterised as an …

A method for divergence estimation between multidimensional distributions based on
nearest neighbor distances is proposed. Given iid samples, both the bias and the variance …

This paper contemplates the framework of probabilistic image retrieval in the wavelet
domain from a computational point of view. We not only focus on achieving high retrieval …
