One of the main goals in Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) is to incorporate shape into the process in a reliable manner. In order to overcome the difficulties of directly obta...
In this paper, we present a method to retrieve natural images by sketch query. To measure the similarity between the sketch and an image, relevant regions are first located in th...

A near-planar object seen from different viewpoints results in differently deformed images. Under some assumptions, viewpoint changes can be modeled by affine transformations. Sh...
We consider the problem of finding the best match for a given query shape among candidate shapes stored in a shape base. This is central to a wide range of applications, such as, d...
Relevance feedback approaches based on support vector machine (SVM) learning have been applied to significantly improve retrieval performance in content-based image retrieval (CBI...
