This work describes both the concepts used in an Object Manager for storage of medical images as one more data type associated to objects, and a support system developed to offer this kind of tool to medical application ...

This paper presents an Object Manager that stores medical images as a data type of attributes that can be associated to objects, and a support system developed to offer this kind of tool to medical application developers. ...

Considering the difficulties in finding good-quality images for the development and test of computer-aided diagnosis (CAD), this paper presents a public online mammographic images database free for all interested viewers ...

In this article, a general database infrastructure implemented in an Object-Relational Database Management System for image retrieval is proposed and describe. Semantic and content based image queries can be performed with ...

In this work, we study the extraction of semantic objects using morphological tools. We decompose the image into its level sets and level lines (the borders of the level sets). Specifically, from all the level lines we ...

This paper proposes a new rotation-invariant and scale-invariant representation for texture image retrieval based on Steerable Pyramid Decomposition. By calculating the mean and standard deviation of decomposed image ...

In this paper we propose a novel method for shape analysis called HTS (Hough Transform Statistics), which uses statistics from Hough Transform space in order to characterize the shape of objects in digital images. Experimental ...

Despite the efficacy of minutia-based fingerprint matching techniques for good-quality images captured by optical sensors, minutia-based techniques do not often perform so well on poor-quality images or fingerprint images ...
