Percentile Blobs for Image Similarity
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a new algorithm called PBSIM for computing image similarity, based upon a novel method of extracting bloblike features from images. In tests on a classification task using a data set of over 1000 images, PBSIM shows significantly higher accuracy than algorithms based upon color histograms, as well as previously reported results for another approach based upon bloblike features.

Reduced-Reference Image Quality Assessment based on saliency region extraction
In this paper, a novel saliency theory based RR-IQA metric is introduced. As the human visual system is sensitive to the salient region, evaluating the image quality based on the salient region could increase the accuracy of the algorithm. In order to extract the salient regions, we use blob decomposition (BD) tool as a texture component descriptor. A new method for blob decomposition is propos...
متن کاملContext-dependent segmentation and matching in image databases
The content of an image can be summarized by a set of homogeneous regions in an appropriate feature space. When exact shape is not important, the regions can be represented by simple “blobs”. Even for similar images, the blob representation of the two images might vary in shape, position, the number of blobs, and the represented features. In addition, separate blobs in one image might correspon...
متن کاملTemporal spatio-velocity transform and its application to tracking and interaction
This paper describes the temporal spatio-velocity (TSV) transform for extracting pixel velocities from binary image sequences. The TSV transform is derived from the Hough transform over windowed spatio-temporal images. We present the methodology of the transform and its implementation in an iterative computational form. The intensity at each pixel in the TSV image represents a measure of the li...
متن کاملMultifractal Fingerprints in the Visual Arts
The similarity in fractal dimensions of paint “blobs” in samples of gestural expressionist art implies that these pigment structures are statistically indistinguishable from one another. This result suggests that such dimensions cannot be used as a “fingerprint” for identifying the work of a single artist. To overcome this limitation, the multifractal spectrum is adopted as an alternative tool ...
متن کاملFully Bottom-Up Blob Extraction in Building Facades
A fully bottom-up algorithm for extracting blobs in building facades is proposed. Prototype discovery, hypothesis testing and verification are used to identify missing blobs or split the agglomerated ones, when repeated patterns are present in the facade. A novel similarity measure is used for assessing the similarity of subpatterns. The proposed algorithm can detect 80% of the 3589 hand segmen...
