—This paper proposes a dominant color based vector quantization algorithm that automatically categorizes image regions. In contrast to the conventional vector quantization algori...
The emerging MPEG-7 standard embodies a visual descriptor that will be associated with the dominant colors of an image. In this contribution, a threshold adaptation method for reg...
Automatic image categorization using low-level features is a challenging research topic in computer vision. In this paper, we formulate the image categorization problem as a multi...
The two major problems raised by a region-based image retrieval system are the automatic definition and description of regions. In this paper we first present a technique of unsup...
