Human visual recognition is based largely on shape, yet effectively using shapes in natural image retrieval is a challenging task. Most existing methods are based on the geometric...
This paper presents a novel visual approach to evaluate, in a fast and effective way, the development of new image feature extraction techniques concerning content-based image ret...
The first image retrieval systems hold the advantage of being fully automatic, and thus scalable to large collections of images but are restricted to the representation of low-lev...
