In this paper, we propose a novel appearance-based representation, called Structured Ordinal Feature (SOF). SOF is a binary string encoded by combining eight ordinal blocks in a ci...

The description of 3D shapes with features that possess descriptive power and invariant under similarity transformations is one of the most challenging issues in content based 3D ...
This paper describes a novel method for content extraction and scene retrieval for video sequences based on local region descriptors. The local invariant features are obtained for...
This paper presents a new keypoint-based approach to nearduplicate images detection. It consists of three steps. Firstly, the keypoints of images are extracted and then matched. S...
A feature extraction method using the chaincode representation of fingerprint ridge contours is presented. The representation allows efficient image quality enhancement and detect...
