Image matching is a fundamental task for many applications of computer vision. Today it is very popular to represent two matched images as two bags of local descriptors, and the c...
We propose a fast algorithm, EMD-L1, for computing the Earth Mover's Distance (EMD) between a pair of histograms. Compared to the original formulation, EMD-L1 has a largely si...
We evaluate the performance of MPEG-7 image signatures, Compressed Histogram of Gradients descriptor (CHoG) and Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) descriptors for mobile vis...

The purpose of this paper is to show how the edge histogram descriptor for MPEG-7 can be efficiently utilized for image matching. Since the edge histogram descriptor recommended f...
Abstract--The goal of this work is twofold. First, we demonstrate that an advantage can be gained by using local cosine bases over wavelets to encode images that contain periodic t...
