The description of the object shape is an important characteristic of the image. In image processing and pattern recognition, several different shape descriptors are used. In human visual perception, the shapes are processed in multiple resolutions. Therefore multiscale shape representation is essential in the shape based image classification and retrieval. In the description of the object shap...

In this paper we propose a new descriptor for birds search. First, our work was carried on the choice of a descriptor. This choice is usually driven by the application requirements such as robustness to noise, stability with respect to bias, the invariance to geometrical transformations or tolerance to occlusions. In this context, we introduce a descriptor which combines the shape and color des...

In this paper a new approach for moving objects detection in video surveillance systems is proposed. It is based on iLBP (intensity local binary patterns) descriptor that combines the classic LBP (local binary patterns) and the multiple regressive pseudospectra model. The iLBP descriptor itself is considered together with computational algorithm that is based on the sign image representation. W...

Object recognition and sorting plays a key role in robotic systems, especially for the autonomous robots to implement object sorting tasks in a warehouse. In this paper, we present a global texture-shape 3D feature descriptor which can be utilized in a sorting system, and this system can perform object sorting tasks well. Our proposed descriptor stems from the clustered viewpoint feature histog...

The paper presents a novel concept that analyzes and visualizes worldwide fashion trends. Our goal is to reveal cutting-edge fashion trends without displaying an ordinary fashion style. To achieve the fashion-based analysis, we created a new fashion culture database (FCDB), which consists of 76 million geo-tagged images in 16 cosmopolitan cities. By grasping a fashion trend of mixed fashion sty...

This document presents an improved global descriptor, the Robust Visual Descriptor (RVD). Our proposed global descriptor results in an improvement of the overall performance of the Test Model TM6 in both pairwise matching and retrieval, showing exceptional performance improvements in the non-planar 3D objects experiments, where the TM currently underperforms. Furthermore, our proposed global de...

By using the wavelet transform, we develop a hierarchical planar curve descriptor that decomposes a curve into components of different scales so that the coarsest scale components carry the global approximation information while the finer scale components contain the local detailed information. We show that the wavelet descriptor has many desirable properties such as multiresolution representat...
