Content-based image retrieval requires a natural image (e.g, a photo) as query, but the absence of such a query image is usually the reason for a search. An easy way to express the...
This paper proposes a general framework called Markov stationary features (MSF) to extend histogram based features. The MSF characterizes the spatial co-occurrence of histogram pa...

In this paper, we describe an approach for the automatic medical image annotation task of the 2009 CLEF cross-language image retrieval campaign (ImageCLEF). This work is focused o...
We propose an integral image based algorithm to extract feature covariance matrices of all possible rectangular regions within a given image. Covariance is an essential indicator ...
