The imaging data in various fields like industries, institutions, medical, and so on has grown exponentially in recent years. An innovative software solution is required for the efficient management of image data. The ...

To illuminate low-light scenarios in photography, photographers usually use the camera flash, this produces flash images. Nevertheless, this external light may produce non-uniform illumination and unnatural color of ...

This paper presents a novel approach for personal identification based on a wavelet-based fingerprint retrieval system which encompasses three image retrieval tasks, namely, feature extraction, similarity measurement, and ...

A long-standing challenge of content-based image retrieval (CBIR) systems is the definition of a suitable distance function to measure the similarity between images in an application context which complies with the human ...

In the last decade, image quality indices have received considerable attention to quantify the dissimilarity between two images. The codispersion coefficient, commonly used in spatial statistics to address the association ...

A core issue of the decision-making process in the medical field is to support the execution of analytical (OLAP) similarity queries over images in data warehousing environments. In this paper, we focus on this issue. We ...

In Pattern Recognition there are many algorithms it try to solve the problem of grouping objects of the same type, this is called clustering, however the task of dividing these lies not only in the objective function, but ...

Abstract. We propose a novel method to re-order the list of images returned by an image retrieval system (IRS). The method combines the original order obtained by the IRS, the similarity between images obtained with visual ...
