Semantically describing the contents of images is one of the classical problems of computer vision. With huge numbers of images being made available daily, there is increasing interest in methods for semantic pixel labelling that exploit large image sets. ...
We present a new approach for matching sets of branching curvilinear structures that form graphs embedded in R2 or R3 and may be subject to deformations. Unlike earlier methods, ours does not rely on local appearance similarity nor does require a good init ...

A faithful (unit) distance graph in R-d is a graph whose set of vertices is a finite subset of the d-dimensional Euclidean space, where two vertices are adjacent if and only if the Euclidean distance between them is exactly 1. A (unit) distance graph in Rd ...
A diameter graph in is a graph whose set of vertices is a finite subset of and whose set of edges is formed by pairs of vertices that are at diameter apart. This paper is devoted to the study of different extremal properties of diameter graphs in and on a ...
Approximate graph matching (AGM) refers to the problem of mapping the vertices of two structurally similar graphs, which has applications in social networks, computer vision, chemistry, and biology. Given its computational cost, AGM has mostly been limited ...
We propose a method for learning dictionaries towards sparse approximation of signals defined on vertices of arbitrary graphs. Dictionaries are expected to describe effectively the main spatial and spectral components of the signals of interest, so that th ...
Implementing machine learning algorithms for large data, such as the Web graph and social networks, is challenging. Even though much research has focused on making sequential algorithms more scalable, their running times continue to be prohibitively long. ...
This thesis reports on the microstructural analysis of metal ion implanted Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), and on the characterization and modeling of its electrical and mechanical properties. Low energy (below 35 keV) metal ion implantation into PDMS forms m ...
