Abstract. Most CBIR systems use low-level visual features for representation and retrieval of images. Generally such methods suffer from the problems of high-dimensionality leadin...
We address the problem of describing the mean object for a set of planar shapes in the case that the considered dissimilarity measures are semi-metrics, i.e. in the case that the t...
In this paper, we present a method to retrieve natural images by sketch query. To measure the similarity between the sketch and an image, relevant regions are first located in th...

In this paper, we propose a word shape recognition method for retrieving image-based documents. Document images are segmented at the word level first. Then the proposed method det...
In this paper, we propose novel image-derived features for image indexing and retrieval in digital library applications. The new features capture the intrinsic geometry and color ...
