Similarity search is a key challenge for multimedia retrieval applications where data are usually represented in high-dimensional space. Among various algorithms proposed for simi...
We present a new framework for characterizing and retrieving objects in cluttered scenes. This CBIR system is based on a new representation describing every object taking into acc...

Abstract. Similarity search in large multimedia databases requires efficient query processing based on suitable similarity models. Similarity models consist of a feature extraction...
Considerable advances have been made in learning to recognize and localize visual object classes. Simple bag-offeature approaches label each pixel or patch independently. More adv...
We investigate the properties of a metric between two distributions, the Earth Mover's Distance (EMD), for content-based image retrieval. The EMD is based on the minimal cost ...
