Shape-based Segmentation, Description, and Retrieval
|
|
The goal of this project is to develop automated methods for detecting, describing, and indexing shapes that appear in image and video databases. Retrieval by shape is perhaps one of the most challenging aspects of content-based image database search, due to image clutter, segmentation errors, etc. In addition, many shape classes of interest are related through deformations and/or may have variable structure. Methods are being developed that can detect, segment, and describe shapes in images despite clutter, shape deformation, and variable object structure. |
