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 ...
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...
Shape is one of the fundamental visual features in the Content-based Image Retrieval (CBIR) paradigm. Numerous shape descriptors have been proposed in the literature. These can be...
The description of the object shape is an important characteristic of the image. In image processing and pattern recognition, several different shape descriptors are used. In huma...
Distance measures, along with shape features, are the most critical components in a shape-based 3D model retrieval system. Given a shape feature, an optimal distance measure will v...
