In this paper, we describe a fully automatic video retrieval prototype system that uses an image or a video sequence of an interested identity as probe. The system is based on fac...
Visual dictionaries have been successfully applied to "bags-of-points" image representations for generic object recognition. Usually the choice of low-level interest reg...
In many image or video retrieval systems, the search of similar objects in the database includes a spatial access method to a multidimensional feature space. This step is generall...
Histograms of orientations and the statistics derived from them have proven to be effective image representations for various recognition tasks. In this work we attempt to improve...
