Many strategies for similarity search in image databases assume a metric and quadratic form-based similarity model where an optimal lower bounding distance function exists for fil...
The usefulness of the hit-miss transform (HMT) and related transforms for pattern matching in document image applications is examined. Although the HMT is sensitive to the types o...
Color and color neighborhood statistics have been used extensively in image matching and retrieval. However, the effective incorporation of color layout information remains a chal...
We pose robust matching with parametric and non-parametric constraints as the problem of finding a stable independent set (SIS) in an oriented graph whose vertices are all possible...
Image dissimilarity measure is a hot topic. The measure process is generally composed of an information mining in each image which results in an image signature and then a signatu...
