Abstract. We propose new ideas and efficient algorithms towards bridging the gap between bag-of-features and constellation descriptors for image matching. Specifically, we show ho...
We propose interest seam image, an efficient visual synopsis for video. To extract an interest seam image, a spatiotemporal energy map is constructed for the target video shot. T...
—In this paper we present a scalable and distributed system for image retrieval based on visual features and annotated text. This system is the core of the SAPIR project. Its arc...
In this paper we present a new physically motivated curve/region descriptor based on the solution of Helmholtz's equation. The descriptor we propose satisfies the six princip...
