Texture has been recognized as an important visual primitive in image analysis. A widely used texture descriptor, which is part of the MPEG-7 standard, is that computed using mult...
In this paper, we propose a new rotation-invariant image retrieval system based on steerable pyramids and the concept of angular alignment across scales. First, we define energy-b...
This paper presents an algorithm for fingerprint image restoration using a Digital Reaction-Diffusion System (DRDS). The DRDS is a model of a discrete-time discrete-space nonline...
The MPEG-7 dominant color descriptor (DCD) is an effective, compact, and intuitive representation of salient colors in an image region and is very useful for contentbased image re...
Video contains multiple types of audio and visual information, which are difficult to extract, combine or trade-off in general video information retrieval. This paper provides an ...
