Orientation radiograms for image retrieval: an alternative to segmentation
نویسندگان
چکیده
For content based image retrieval using shape descriptors, most approaches so far extract shape information from a segmentation of the image. Shape features derived based on a specific segmentation are not suitable for images containing complex structures. Further, static segmentation based approaches are useful only for a small set of queries. In this paper we discuss the limitations of such boundary based shape features, and propose an alternative shape characterization technique based on orientation radiograms. A working image retrieval system based on this approach is described, and sample results are presented for a full-image query.

In this paper we present Document analysis and classification system to segment and classify contents of Arabic document images. This system includes preprocessing, document segmentation, feature extraction and document classification. A document image is enhanced in the preprocessing by removing noise, binarization, and detecting and correcting image skew. In document segmentation, an algorith...
متن کاملAn Improved Pixon-Based Approach for Image Segmentation
An improved pixon-based method is proposed in this paper for image segmentation. In thisapproach, a wavelet thresholding technique is initially applied on the image to reduce noise and toslightly smooth the image. This technique causes an image not to be oversegmented when the pixonbasedmethod is used. Indeed, the wavelet thresholding, as a pre-processing step, eliminates theunnecessary details...
