In this paper, an effective content-based visual image retrieval system is presented. This system consists of two main components: visual content extraction and indexing, and quer...
We propose in this paper a general kernel framework to deal with database object retrieval embedded in images with heterogeneous background. We use local features computed on fuzz...

Automatic generation of semantic metadata describing spatial relations is highly desirable for image digital libraries. Relative spatial relations between objects in an image conv...

In this paper we propose the use of fractals and especially the Hilbert curve, in order to design good distance-preserving mappings. Such mappings improve the performance of secon...
Spatial database operations are typically performed in two steps. In the filtering step, indexes and the minimum bounding rectangles (MBRs) of the objects are used to quickly dete...
