چکیده
Efficient retrieval by content of visual information requires that visual content descriptors and similarity models are combined with efficient index structures. This problem is particularly challenging in the case of retrieval by shape similarity. The paper discusses retrieval by shape similarity, using local features and effective indexing. Shapes are partitioned into tokens following curvature analysis and each token is modelled by a set of perceptually salient attributes. Two distinct distance functions are used to model token similarity and shape similarity. Shape indexing is obtained by arranging tokens into an M-tree index structure. Examples from a prototype system and computational experiences are reported for both retrieval accuracy and indexing efficiency.

Edge image description using angular radial partitioning - Vision, Image and Signal Processing, IEE Proceedings-
The authors present a novel approach for image representation based on geometric distribution of edge pixels. Object segmentation is not needed, therefore the input image may consist of several complex objects. For an efficient description of an arbitrary edge image, the edge map is divided into M £ N angular radial partitions and local features are extracted for these partitions. The entire im...
متن کاملSpeech-driven facial animation using a hierarchical model - Vision, Image and Signal Processing, IEE Proceedings-
A system capable of producing near video-realistic animation of a speaker given only speech inputs is presented. The audio input is a continuous speech signal, requires no phonetic labelling and is speaker-independent. The system requires only a short video training corpus of a subject speaking a list of viseme-targeted words in order to achieve convincing realistic facial synthesis. The system...
متن کاملRegion-based image retrieval using integrated color, shape, and location index
A technique to retrieve images by region matching using a combined feature index based on color, shape, and location is presented within the framework of MPEG-7. Dominant regions within each image are indexed using integrated color, shape, and location features. Various combinations of regions are also indexed. The resulting indices and related metadata are stored in a Hash structure, where sim...
متن کاملEntropy-based metrics for the analysis of partial and total occlusion in video object tracking - Vision, Image and Signal Processing, IEE Proceedings-
Metrics measuring tracking reliability under occlusion that are based on mutual information and do not resort to ground truth data are proposed. Metrics for both the initialisation of the region to be tracked as well as for measuring the performance of the tracking algorithm are presented. The metrics variations may be interpreted as a quantitative estimate of changes in the tracking region due...

The paper considcrs data modelling using multi-output regression models. A locally regularised orthogonal least-squares (LROLS) algorithm is proposed for constructing sparse multi-output regression models that generalise well. By associating each regressor in the regression model with an individual regularisation parameter, the ability of the multi-output orthogonal least-squares (OLS) model se...
