Movies segmentation into semantically correlated units is a quite tedious task due to ”semantic gap”. Low-level features do not provide useful information about the semantical...
In image retrieval, most existing approaches that incorporate local features produce high dimensional vectors, which lead to a high computational and data storage cost. Moreover, ...
This paper presents a new Sobel-LBP, an extension of existing Local Binary Pattern (LBP), for facial image representation. The face image is filtered by Sobel operator to enhance ...
Feature extraction and selection are two important steps for shape retrieval. Given a data set, a set of features which describe the shape property from different aspects are extr...

In this work we construct scale invariant descriptors (SIDs) without requiring the estimation of image scale; we thereby avoid scale selection which is often unreliable. Our start...
