Abstract We present a novel computational framework for automatic classification method by symmetries, for periodic images applied to content based image retrieval. The existing methods have several drawbacks because of the use of heuristics. These methods have shown low classification values when images exhibit imperfections due to the fabrication or the hand made process. Also, […]
Abstract A straightforward algorithm that computes distance maps from unthresholded magnitude values is presented, suitable for still images and video sequences. While results on binary images are similar to classic Euclidean Distance Transforms, the proposed approach does not require a binarization step. Thus, no thresholds are needed and no information is lost in intermediate classification […]
