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...
In this paper, we present a novel image representation that renders it possible to access natural scenes by local semantic description. Our work is motivated by the continuing effo...
The shapes occurring in the images are important in the content-based image retrieval. In this paper we introduce a new Fourier-based descriptor for the characterization of the sh...
In this paper, the Radon transform is used to design a new descriptor called Phi-signature invariant to usual geometric transformations. Experiments show the effectiveness of the m...
Divisive normalization has been recognized as a successful approach to model the perceptual sensitivity of biological vision. It also provides a useful image representation that i...
