The Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) systems and their application in different areas of development, are current research topics, however many of this systems are likely to fail due to use global features which cannot ...

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 ...

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 ...

This paper proposes a new texture descriptor to guide the search and retrieval in image databases. It extracts rich information from global and local primitives of textured images. At a higher level, the global macro-features ...

The number of images available has grown over the years, as well as the number of techniques to aid to organizing and retrieving from image collections. Techniques and systems have been proposed to recover images based on ...

Abstract. We present methods for image annotation and retrieval based on semantic cohesion among terms. On the one hand, we propose a region labeling technique that assigns an image the label that maximizes an estimate ...

Radiological images represent a high percentage of specialized medical diagnosis. Although these images contain useful information, their use is limited to access and availability. Therefore, storage solutions to facilitate ...

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 ...
