The task of similarity search in image databases has been studied for decades, while there have been many feature extraction techniques proposed. Among the mass of low-level techni...
We present data representations, distance measures and organizational structures for fast and efficient retrieval of similar shapes in image databases. Using the Hough Transform w...

We propose a novel approach to shape-based image retrieval that builds upon a similarity criterion which is based on the average point set distance. Compared to traditional techni...
Classification is one of the basic tasks of data mining in modern database applications including molecular biology, astronomy, mechanical engineering, medical imaging or meteorolo...
In this paper, we present a new and robust shape descriptor, which can be efficiently used to quickly prune a search for similar shapes in a large image database. The proposed sha...
