This paper presents a new approach to extracting and representing structural features of images. The approach is based on both a region-based analysis and a contour-based analysis...
The ever increasing availability of 3D models demands for tools supporting their effective and efficient management. Among these tools, those enabling content-based retrieval play...

Unlike its predecessors, MPEG-7 standardizes multimedia metadata description. By providing robust descriptors and an effective system for storing them, MPEG-7 is designed to provi...
Finding similar images in a large database is an important, but often computationally expensive, task. In this paper, we present a two-tier similar-image retrieval system with the...
