Vote-based algorithms are very popular in tasks based on image local-descriptors, including
object matching, panoramic stitching and near-duplicate detection. On this paper, we focus …

Heterogeneous particle swarm optimizers (HPSO) add multiple search behaviors to the
swarm. This is done by allowing particles to utilize different update equations to each other …

In this paper, we propose a novel scheme for near-duplicate image detection, which is an
important problem in variety of applications. While in general content based image retrieval …

Avec la révolution numérique de cette dernière décennie, la quantité de photos numériques
