We describe a new invariant-based data model for image databases under our approach for shape-based retrieval. The data model relies on contours description of the image shape, an...
We describe a new projectively invariant representation of disjoint contour groups which is suitable for shape-based retrieval from an image database. It consists of simultaneous ...
We introduce a new class of distinguished regions based on detecting the most salient convex local arrangements of contours in the image. The regions are used in a similar way to ...
Image texture analysis has received a lot of attention in the past years. Researchers have developed many texture signatures based on texture measurements, for the purpose of uniq...
This paper presents a methodology for interoperability testing based on contextual signatures and passive testing with invariants. The concept of contextual signature offers a fra...
