Optimal Embedding for Shape Indexing in Medical Image Databases
Fast retrieval using organ shapes is crucial in medical image databases since shape is a clinically prominent feature. In this paper, we propose that 2-D shapes in medical image da...

Localizing Contour Points for Indexing an X-Ray Image Retrieval System
Vertebra shape can effectively describe various pathologies found in spine x-ray images. There are some critical regions on the shape contour which help determine whether the shap...

Search Space Partitioning Using Convex Hull and Concavity Features for Fast Medical Image Retrieval
A new approach is presented for partitioning an image database by classifying and indexing the convex hull shapes and the number of region concavities. The result is a significant...
