چکیده

This paper aims to develop simple statistical methods for indexing into an aerial image database using a cartographic model. The images contain severe distortions due to the acquisition process and the data cannot be recovered by applying a simple Euclidean transform to the model. The underlying representation of the infra-red image map within the database is based on histograms of line-segment pair relative angles. We investigate several alternative methods for histogram comparison and conclude that statistical distance measures (such as Bhattacharyya, Matusita and Divergence) provide significant performance improvements over the standard L1 and L2 norms.

Content Based Radiographic Images Indexing and Retrieval Using Pattern Orientation Histogram

Introduction: Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) is a method of image searching and retrieval in a  database. In medical applications, CBIR is a tool used by physicians to compare the previous and current  medical images associated with patients pathological conditions. As the volume of pictorial information  stored in medical image databases is in progress, efficient image indexing and retri...

Quantification of identical and unique segments in ethylene-propylene copolymers using two dimensional liquid chromatography with infra-red detection

Hyphenating High Temperature High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HT-HPLC) with High Temperature Size Exclusion Chromatography (HT-SEC) (High Temperature Two Dimensional Liquid Chromatography (HT-HPLC x HT-SEC or HT 2D-LC)) leads to an isocratic elution in the second dimension, which in turn enables to use IR detector (quantitative detection) for monitoring the eluting polymers. Experimental...

Scene Structural Matrix for Image Indexing

In this paper, we present a new image indexing and retrieval method for image database applications. We introduce a novel image content description feature termed Scene Structural Matrix (SSM). The SSM captures the overall structural information of the scene by indexing the geometric features of the image. In this work, we also introduce a constraint adaptive image segmentation method termed Mi...
