We study the problem of learning to rank images for image retrieval. For a noisy set of images indexed or tagged by the same keyword, we learn a ranking model from some training e...
A modern approach to manage multimedia databases is content-based retrieval. Especially in image databases graphical features like color, texture or shape can be used efficiently ...
In this paper, we present a new method to obtain the contours of color faces. First, we introduce a new nonlinear skin classifier to detect the human skin information in images. T...
In this paper, an interactive image retrieval scheme using MPEG-7 visual descriptors is proposed. The performance of image retrieval systems is still limited due to semantic gap, w...
Although recent studies have shown that unlabeled data are beneficial to boosting the image retrieval performance, very few approaches for image retrieval can learn with labeled a...
