We investigate the properties of a metric between two distributions, the Earth Mover's Distance (EMD), for content-based image retrieval. The EMD is based on the minimal cost ...
Abstract. Efficient nearest neighbor (NN) search techniques for highdimensional data are crucial to content-based image retrieval (CBIR). Traditional data structures (e.g., kd-tree...

Background: In recent times, there has been an exponential rise in the number of protein structures in databases e.g. PDB. So, design of fast algorithms capable of querying such d...
In this paper, an optimal relevance algorithm is proposed, which adapts the response of a content-based image retrieval (CBIR) system to the user's information needs. In part...
Similarity search in metric spaces is a general paradigm that can be used in several application fields. It can also be effectively exploited in content-based image retrieval syst...
