Journal Article
KALICIAK, L., MYRHAUG, H., GOKER, A. and SONG, D. 2015. Early fusion and query modification in their dual late fusion forms. Journal of advances in information fusion [online], 10(2), pages 183-198. Available from: http://isif.org/journal/10/2/1557-6418

In this paper, we prove that specific widely used models in Content-based Image Retrieval for information fusion are interchangeable. In addition, we show that even advanced, non-standard fusion strategies can be represented in dual forms. These mode...
