A new method for hand gesture recognition that is based on a hand gesture fitting procedure
via a new Self-Growing and Self-Organized Neural Gas (SGONG) network is proposed …

Color quantization (cq), the reduction of the number of distinct colors in a given image with
minimal distortion, is a common image processing operation with various applications in …

A new self-organizing map with variable topology is introduced for image segmentation. The
proposed network, called a Local Adaptive Receptive Field Self-organizing Map …

A number of research studies considering a self-organizing map have been developed
since such a map was proposed by Kohonen [1982]. Some of these studies concern SOM …

In a variety of documents, ranging from forms to archive documents and books with
annotations, machine printed and handwritten text may coexist in the same document …

The objective of the color quantization problem is to reduce the number of different colors of
an image, in order to obtain a new image as similar as possible to the original. This is a …

Ant-tree is a clustering algorithm inspired by biological ants. This paper defines a variant of
such algorithm to perform colour quantization. Some of the features of the basic Ant-tree …

This article proposes a color quantization strategy that combines two color quantization
methods: Binary Splitting and Ant tree for Color Quantization. This solution combines a …

Due to the rapid development of information technology and the continuously increasing
number of available multimedia data, the task of retrieving information based on visual …

Abstract The Iterative Ant-tree for color quantization algorithm has recently been proposed to
reduce the colors of an image at a low computational cost. It is a clustering-based method …
