    Chatzichristofis, Savvas A.; Iakovidou, Chrysanthi; Boutalis, Yiannis (Springer, 2011)
    Bag-of-visual-words (BOVW) is a representation of images which is built using a large set of local features. To date, the experimental results presented in the literature have shown that this approach achieves high retrieval ...

  • Content based MRSI image indexing and retrieval involving a fuzzy descriptor
