The content of an image can be summarized by a set of homogeneous regions in an appropriate feature space. When exact shape is not important, the regions can be represented by sim...
This paper presents a new use of the Curvelet transform as a multiscale method for indexing linear singularities and curved handwritten shapes in documents images. As it belongs t...
Sparse coding is a key principle that underlies wavelet representation of natural images. In this paper, we explain that the effort of seeking a common wavelet sparse coding of i...
— This paper presents a shape-based retrieval system and its application to infrared satellite images. A complete system is presented, from region extraction of a full hemisphere...
The Internet contains billions of images, freely available online. Methods for efficiently searching this incredibly rich resource are vital for a large number of applications. Th...
