This paper addresses automatic image annotation problem and its application to multi-modal image retrieval. The contribution of our work is three-fold. (1) We propose a probabilis...
In some applications objects are known to have nonsmooth or “jagged” edges, which are not well approximated by smooth curves. We use subdivision curves as a simple but flexib...
Use of semantic content is one of the major issues which needs to be addressed for improving image retrieval effectiveness. We present a new approach to classify images based on t...
In image retrieval, most existing approaches that incorporate local features produce high dimensional vectors, which lead to a high computational and data storage cost. Moreover, ...
The paper considers an interactive search paradigm in which at each round a user is presented with a set of k images and is required to select one that is closest to her target. P...
