Similarity of Color Images

by Markus Stricker, Markus Orengo , 1995
"... We describe two new color indexing techniques. The first one is a more robust version of the commonly used color histogram indexing. In the index we store the cumulative color histograms. The L 1 -, L 2 -, or L1 -distance between two cumulative color histograms can be used to define a similarity mea ..."

measure of these two color distributions. We show that while this method produces only slightly better results than color histogram methods, it is more robust with respect to the quantization parameter of the histograms. The second technique is an example of a new approach to color indexing. Instead

A Survey of Medical Image Registration

by J. B. Antoine Maintz, Max A. Viergever , 1998
"... The purpose of this chapter is to present a survey of recent publications concerning medical image registration techniques. These publications will be classified according to a model based on nine salient criteria, the main dichotomy of which is extrinsic versus intrinsic methods The statistics of t ..."

of the classification show definite trends in the evolving registration techniques, which will be discussed. At this moment, the bulk of interesting intrinsic methods is either based on segmented points or surfaces, or on techniques endeavoring to use the full information content of the images involved.

Local grayvalue invariants for image retrieval

by Cordelia Schmid, Roger Mohr - IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence , 1997
"... Abstract—This paper addresses the problem of retrieving images from large image databases. The method is based on local grayvalue invariants which are computed at automatically detected interest points. A voting algorithm and semilocal constraints make retrieval possible. Indexing allows for efficie ..."

Experimental results show correct retrieval in the case of partial visibility, similarity transformations, extraneous features, and small perspective deformations. Index Terms—Image retrieval, image indexing, graylevel invariants, matching

Efficient graph-based image segmentation.

by Pedro F Felzenszwalb , Daniel P Huttenlocher - International Journal of Computer Vision, , 2004
"... Abstract. This paper addresses the problem of segmenting an image into regions. We define a predicate for measuring the evidence for a boundary between two regions using a graph-based representation of the image. We then develop an efficient segmentation algorithm based on this predicate, and show ..."

Comparing Images Using the Hausdorff Distance

by Daniel P. Huttenlocher, Gregory A. Klanderman, William J. Rucklidge - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON PATTERN ANALYSIS AND MACHINE INTELLIGENCE , 1993
"... The Hausdorff distance measures the extent to which each point of a `model' set lies near some point of an `image' set and vice versa. Thus this distance can be used to determine the degree of resemblance between two objects that are superimposed on one another. In this paper we provide ef ..."

Learning low-level vision

by William T. Freeman, Egon C. Pasztor - International Journal of Computer Vision , 2000
"... We show a learning-based method for low-level vision problems. We set-up a Markov network of patches of the image and the underlying scene. A factorization approximation allows us to easily learn the parameters of the Markov network from synthetic examples of image/scene pairs, and to e ciently prop ..."

An iterative image registration technique with an application to stereo vision

by Bruce D. Lucas, Takeo Kanade - In IJCAI81 , 1981
"... Image registration finds a variety of applications in computer vision. Unfortunately, traditional image registration techniques tend to be costly. We present a new image registration technique that makes use of the spatial intensity gradient of the images to find a good match using a type of Newton- ..."

-Raphson iteration. Our technique is faster because it examines far fewer potential matches between the images than existing techniques. Furthermore, this registration technique can be generalized to handle rotation, scaling and shearing. We show show our technique can be adapted for use in a stereo vision system. 2

Imagenet: A large-scale hierarchical image database

by Jia Deng, Wei Dong, Richard Socher, Li-jia Li, Kai Li, Li Fei-fei - In CVPR , 2009
"... The explosion of image data on the Internet has the potential to foster more sophisticated and robust models and algorithms to index, retrieve, organize and interact with images and multimedia data. But exactly how such data can be harnessed and organized remains a critical problem. We introduce her ..."

of annotated images organized by the semantic hierarchy of WordNet. This paper offers a detailed analysis of ImageNet in its current state: 12 subtrees with 5247 synsets and 3.2 million images in total. We show that ImageNet is much larger in scale and diversity and much more accurate than the current image

The Contourlet Transform: An Efficient Directional Multiresolution Image Representation

by Minh N. Do, Martin Vetterli - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON IMAGE PROCESSING
"... The limitations of commonly used separable extensions of one-dimensional transforms, such as the Fourier and wavelet transforms, in capturing the geometry of image edges are well known. In this paper, we pursue a “true” two-dimensional transform that can capture the intrinsic geometrical structure t ..."
