چکیده

This paper presents an empirical comparison of several shape representations in order to search a database of training examples (silhouettes) for the task of human pose estimation. In particular, we compare the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT), Lipschitz embeddings and the Histogram of Shape Contexts that has previously demonstrated some success in this task. Our results suggest that a simple linear transformation of the image (such as the DCT) is as effective as the more complex, non-linear methods.

Localized fusion of Shape and Appearance features for 3D Human Pose Estimation

Image based 3D human pose estimation is an important research area because of its application in many different fields such as content-based image retrieval, human computer interaction (HCI), human gait analysis, computer animation in movies, and visual surveillance. There are two basic types of approaches to 3D pose estimation from images. The first type is the generative method, where the pos...

A new shape retrieval method using the Group delay of the Fourier descriptors

In this paper, we introduced a new way to analyze the shape using a new Fourier based descriptor, which is the smoothed derivative of the phase of the Fourier descriptors. It is extracted from the complex boundary of the shape, and is called the smoothed group delay (SGD). The usage of SGD on the Fourier phase descriptors, allows a compact representation of the shape boundaries which is robust ...

بازیابی مبتنی بر شکل اجسام با توصیفگرهای بدست آمده از فرآیند رشد کانتوری

In this paper, a novel shape descriptor for shape-based object retrieval is proposed. A growing process is introduced in which a contour is reconstructed from the bounding circle of the shape. In this growing process, circle points move toward the shape in normal direction until they  get to the shape contour. Three different shape descriptors are extracted from this process: the first descript...

Evaluation of Shape Descriptors for Shape-Based Image Retrieval

This paper presents a comparative study between scale, rotation and translation invariant descriptors for shape representation and retrieval. Since shape is one of the most widely used image feature exploited in content-based image retrieval systems, we studied for each descriptor, the number of coefficients needed for indexing and their retrieval performance. Specifically, we studied Fourier, ...

A Novel Method for Content Base Image Retrieval Using Combination of Local and Global Features

Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) has been an active research topic in the last decade. In this paper we proposed an image retrieval method using global and local features. Firstly, for local features extraction, SURF algorithm produces a set of interest points for each image and a set of 64-dimensional descriptors for each interest points and then to use Bag of Visual Words model, a cluster...
