Texture Representations for Image Retrieval

Аннотация

Image databases are used in medical research, hospitals, in scientific research, in museums to catalogue content, in security and biometrics and many other fields. The entire World Wide Web can be considered an image database from the point of view of a search engine. Image retrieval involves searching and retrieving specific or similar images from a database given a query image or textual descriptor. Content-based image retrieval uses low-level visual features, such as color, shape and texture, in digital images to search and retrieve content from an image database.
