Exhibiting new features and likely related matching techniques to efficiently retrieve images from databases remains an open problem. This paper is first devoted to such a novel d...
We present an image retrieval system driven by free-hand sketched queries depicting shape. We introduce Gradient Field HoG (GF-HOG) as a depiction invariant image descriptor, enca...
This paper presents the participation of the MIRACLE team1 at the ImageCLEF 2005 interactive search task, in which we compare the efficiency of AND monolingual queries (which have ...
Many visual search and matching systems represent images using sparse sets of "visual words": descriptors that have been quantized by assignment to the best-matching symb...
Spatial relationships are important issues for similarity-based retrieval in many image database applications. With the popularity of digital cameras and the related image process...
