In this paper, fractal transforms are employed with the aim of image recognition. It is known that such transforms are highly sensitive to distortions like a small shift of an image. However, by using features based on statistics kept during the actual decomposition we can derive features from fractal …

We outline the architecture of a CBIR-interface that allows the user to interactively classify images by dragging and dropping them into different piles and instructing the interface to come up with features that can mimic this classffication. Logistic regression and Sammon projection are used to support …

Fast and successful searching for an object in a multimedia database is a highly desirable functionality. Several approaches to content based retrieval for multimedia databases can be found in the literature [9,10,12,14,17]. The approach we consider is feature extraction. A feature can be seen as a way …
