Technical report TR00-18. Significant research has focused on determining efficient methodologies for retrieving images in large image databases. In this paper, we propose two variations of a new image abstraction technique based on signature bit-strings and an appropriate similarity metric. The...

Technical report TR04-16. This thesis deals with the problem of finding images that contain a given query sub-image, the so-called Content-Based sub-Image Retrieval (CBsIR) problem. We propose a scheme named the Hierarchical Tree Matching (HTM), which relies on a hierarchical tree that encodes...
