IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine IntelligenceA model of saliency-based visual attention for rapid scene analysis
11,180 Citations1998Laurent Itti, Christof Koch +1 more
A visual attention system, inspired by the behavior and the neuronal architecture of the early primate visual system, is presented, which breaks down the complex problem of scene understanding by rapidly selecting conspicuous locations to be analyzed in detail.
Psychological ReviewFeatures of similarity.
7,287 Citations1977Amos Tversky
The metric and dimensional assumptions that underlie the geometric representation of similarity are questioned on both theoretical and empirical grounds and a set of qualitative assumptions are shown to imply the contrast model, which expresses the similarity between objects as a linear combination of the measures of their common and distinctive features.
International Journal of Computer VisionColor indexing
5,592 Citations1991Michael J. Swain, Dana H. Ballard
It is demonstrated that color histograms of multicolored objects provide a robust, efficient cue for indexing into a large database of models and that they can differentiate among a large number of objects.
IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine IntelligenceTexture features for browsing and retrieval of image data
3,720 Citations1996B.S. Manjunath, Weixin Ma
Comparisons with other multiresolution texture features using the Brodatz texture database indicate that the Gabor features provide the best pattern retrieval accuracy.

1,426 Citations1997C. Schmid, Roger Mohr
This paper addresses the problem of retrieving images from large image databases with a method based on local grayvalue invariants which are computed at automatically detected interest points and allows for efficient retrieval from a database of more than 1,000 images.

761 Citations1999Chad Carson, Megan Thomas +3 more
This work indexes the blob descriptions using a lower-rank approximation to the high-dimensional distance to make large-scale retrieval feasible, and shows encouraging results for both querying and indexing.

International Journal of Computer VisionA computational approach for corner and vertex detection
296 Citations1993Rachid Deriche, Gérard Giraudon
A new scale-space based approach that combines useful properties from the Laplacian and Beaudet's measure (Beaudet 1978) is proposed in order to correct and detect exactly the corner position and an extension of this approach is developed to solve the problem of trihedral vertex characterization and detection.
Non-parametric similarity measures for unsupervised texture segmentation and image retrieval
249 Citations2002Jan Puzicha, Thomas Hofmann +1 more
This paper proposes and examines non-parametric statistical tests to define similarity and homogeneity measures for textures and demonstrates that these similarity measures are useful for both, texture based image retrieval and for unsupervised texture segmentation, and hence offer a unified approach to these closely related tasks.
Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE<title>Color indexing with weak spatial constraints</title>
231 Citations1996Markus Stricker, Alexander Dimai
This work proposes an approach that lies between uniformly tesselating the images with rectangular regions and relying on fully segmented images, and encoding a minimal amount of spatial information in the index to improve the discrimination power of color indexing techniques.
CALCOLOA note on the derivation of maximal common subgraphs of two directed or undirected graphs
226 Citations1973Giorgio Levi
A technique is described by which this problem of finding maximal common subgraphs of two given graphs can be stated as a problem of deriving maximal compatibility classes and the same technique is shown to apply to the classical subgraph isomorphism problem.

73 Citations2000Remco C. Veltkamp, Michiel Hagedoorn
A number of similarity measures are listed, some of which are not well known (such as the Monge-Kantorovich metric), or newly introduced (reflection metric), and a set constructions are given that have been used in the design of some similarity measures.

31 Citations2002Benoît Huet, Edwin R. Hancock
It is concluded that a relational histogram of pairwise segment attributes presents a very efficient way of indexing into large databases and that segmentation errors do not affect the retrieval performances.
