Contrastive learning has gained popularity due to its robustness with good feature representation performance. However, cosine distance, the commonly used similarity metric in contrastive learning, is not well suited to represent the…
We present a model to measure the similarity in appearance between different materials, which correlates with human similarity judgments. We first create a database of 9,000 rendered images depicting objects with varying materials, shape…
Due to recent advances in technology, digitized histopathology images are now widely available for both clinical and research purposes. Accordingly, research into computerized image analysis algorithms for digital histopathology images has…
Despite having different astronomical characteristics, the studies of mira variables and ultra-cool dwarfs frequently show similar red colors, which could cause leading to photometric misclassification. This study uses photometric data from…
Person re-identification in a multi-camera environment is an important part of modern surveillance systems. Person re-identification from color images has been the focus of much active research, due to the numerous challenges posed with…
Person Re-identification (re-id) aims to match people across non-overlapping camera views in a public space. It is a challenging problem because many people captured in surveillance videos wear similar clothes. Consequently, the differences…
Morphometric differences in the anatomy of cortical structures are associated with neuro-developmental and neuropsychiatric disorders. Such differences can be quantized and detected by a powerful tool called Labeled Cortical Distance Map…
Cross-modality person re-identification is a challenging problem which retrieves a given pedestrian image in RGB modality among all the gallery images in infrared modality. The task can address the limitation of RGB-based person Re-ID in…
Transportation distances have been used for more than a decade now in machine learning to compare histograms of features. They have one parameter: the ground metric, which can be any metric between the features themselves. As is the case…
Virtual staining of histopathology images (e.g., H&E-IHC) is an emerging tool in digital pathology, enabling faster and cheaper workflows by synthesizing target stains from routinely acquired slides. Yet, the quality of virtual staining…
Existing image enhancement methods fall short of expectations because with them it is difficult to improve global and local image contrast simultaneously. To address this problem, we propose a histogram equalization-based method that adapts…
Person re-identification (re-ID) requires rapid, flexible yet discriminant representations to quickly generalize to unseen observations on-the-fly and recognize the same identity across disjoint camera views. Recent effective methods are…
Single-cell omics enable the profiles of cells, which contain large numbers of biological features, to be quantified. Cluster analysis, a dimensionality reduction process, is used to reduce the dimensions of the data to make it…
Targeted color-dots with varying shapes and sizes in images are first exhaustively identified, and then their multiscale 2D geometric patterns are extracted for testing spatial uniformness in a progressive fashion. Based on color theory in…
The assessment of segmentation quality plays a fundamental role in the development, optimization, and comparison of segmentation methods which are used in a wide range of applications. With few exceptions, quality assessment is performed…
This paper rethinks image histogram matching (HM) and proposes a differentiable and parametric HM preprocessing for a downstream classifier. Convolutional neural networks have demonstrated remarkable achievements in classification tasks.…
To interpret information visualizations, observers must determine how visual features map onto concepts. First and foremost, this ability depends on perceptual discriminability; e.g., observers must be able to see the difference between…
An appropriate distance metric is crucial for categorical data clustering, as the distance between categorical data cannot be directly calculated. However, the distances between attribute values usually vary in different clusters induced by…
A non-vector-based dissimilarity measure is proposed by combining vector-based distance metrics and set operations. This proposed compound dissimilarity measure (CDM) is applicable to quantify similarity of collections of attribute/feature…
This paper is about similarity between objects that can be represented as points in metric measure spaces. A metric measure space is a metric space that is also equipped with a measure. For example, a network with distances between its…
