Remote sensing is a technology to acquire data for disatant substances, necessary to construct a model knowledge for applications as classification. Recently Hyperspectral Images (HSI) becomes a high technical tool that the main goal is to…
Multi-dimensional scaling (MDS) plays a central role in data-exploration, dimensionality reduction and visualization. State-of-the-art MDS algorithms are not robust to outliers, yielding significant errors in the embedding even when only a…
Image data are often composed of two or more geometrically distinct constituents; in galaxy catalogs, for instance, one sees a mixture of pointlike structures (galaxy superclusters) and curvelike structures (filaments). It would be ideal to…
Reducing acquisition time is of fundamental importance in various imaging modalities. The concept of variable density sampling provides a nice framework to achieve this. It was justified recently from a theoretical point of view in the…

Dimensionality reduction can be applied to hyperspectral images so that the most useful data can be extracted and processed more quickly. This is critical in any situation in which data volume exceeds the capacity of the computational…
Accurate three-dimensional perception is essential for modern industrial robotic systems that perform manipulation, inspection, and navigation tasks. RGB-D and stereo vision sensors are widely used for this purpose, but the depth maps they…
Clustering is spotting pattern in a group of objects and resultantly grouping the similar objects together. Objects have attributes which are not always numerical, sometimes attributes have domain or categories to which they could belong…
Measuring the similarity of images is a fundamental problem to computer vision for which no universal solution exists. While simple metrics such as the pixel-wise L2-norm have been shown to have significant flaws, they remain popular. One…
